Abstract: |
Survey and recording of fabric of Anti-Aircraft Battery and associated structures to the southeast of Drumcross Farm, Bishopton, Renfrewshire. The survey revealed that all the major elements of the operations area - comprising four gun pits, two magazines and a command post - could still be identified as upstanding remains. However, much of one gun pit and roughly half of another had been buried beneath bunds and some of these features' structural elements may have been demolished during the landscaping process. The command post had also been subject to partial demolition. The remaining two gun pits and the magazines were, however, in good condition. Aerial photographs indicated that the battery's accommodation area had originally been located to the east and south of the battery. Much of this area had been subject to landscaping, but one upstanding stretch of brick walling was identified that appeared to represent the footing of a Nissen hut or similar temporary structure. |
