Full Description
Contemporary records state, “Spigot mortar position. Footpath leading to Sewage Works, adj. Riverside Garage land. Map ref. 506516”. (Mil. Ed.) <1> On the E side of Mill Lane there is a public footpath leading to the sewage works at TM 0595 3355 (centre). From the Military Grid Reference it appears likely that this emplacement was sited immediately to the E of Mill Lane, looking down to the bridge 70 yards away. However, nothing of it was found at the time of the site visit.
