Full Description
Contemporary records state “Spigot mortar position. Vine Farm, Field opposite farmhouse”.<1> Vine Farm lies on the W side of Vine Road. “Opposite farmhouse” is assumed to mean on the E side of the road and an aerial photograph taken in April 1946 shows a small field here although this is just one of a number on both sides of Vine Road. The entire area has now been built over, however, and the NGR above is thought to be the most likely position.<2>
