Full Description
Contemporary records state, “Spigot mortar position. Flour Mills, In corner of grass field at rear of Mill – adj. river wall. Map ref. 505516”. (Mil. Ed.) <1>
From the Military Grid Reference and the description and the position of what was probably its ammunition shelter (SMR 21132/MCC5520) it is thought that this spigot mortar emplacement was probably sited on the river bank immediately W of the mill. However, nothing of the wall survives, nor is there any sign of the emplacement.
