Full Description
The remains of a former Second World War resistance hide have been recorded as being in this vicinity. The structure was built for use by the British Auxiliary Units in the event of a German invasion. The hide appears to have been largely demolished, and is now only marked by a large pit. Broken concrete slabs found within the pit would indicate its former construction material. {1}{2}{3}
