Abstract/Summary

Report on a programme of archaeological recording, conducted of the former RAF Stenigot buildings, at Manor Hill, Donington on Bain. RAF Stenigot was one of twenty Chain Home radar stations, stretching from the Isle of Wight to the Orkneys. They were built as part of the air defence network of the United Kingdom, and were critical to the aerial response during the Battle of Britain. Construction of the base actually preceded the commencement of the Second World War, however, beginning here in 1938, with the station becoming operational in 1939
