Full Description
WW2_Features
{1} The Hartwell and Hanslope Roads have a series of concrete bases used to store machinery part during WWII. Nearly all are marked on the Ordnance Survey base map. A few of them are now obscured with a shallow spread of earth or buried by soil heaps. All the sites are associated with amorphous piles of earth, usually placed either side, that probably came from the footings and was bulldozed aside. Large dumps are flat topped.
