{1} Brick and concrete underground two-roomed building. In good condition. Note: this may be the Battle HQ referred to by M. Osborne.

{2} NGR given as SP829810. This puts the 'Battle HQ' on the outskirts of Rothwell. If SP929810, would be the same as HQ given by Q.Bland. Battle HQ.11008/41.

[SMR Note 11/12/2001: SP829810 is probably mis-typed in report and should read SP929810. Corrected to that on mapping.]

{4} Standard 11008/41 Battle Headquarters. Brick and concrete underground two-roomed building. In good condition. 150m E of Grafton Underwood to Brigstock Road
