Reported Heavy AA site - 4 x 3.7ins guns. Map reference gives site just off public footpath but on private land (no access available - riding school). At least 2 of the 4 emplacements were seen to survive, and a person on the site confirmed that the other two are still there. Site surrounded by concrete posts and barbed wire, and largely overgrown.
