Abstract:		 A programme of building recording on a set of WWII bunkers and pill boxes was carried out at Altcar Rifle Range, Hightown, Merseyside.The project was undertaken as a community archaeology event in partnership with the Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership. The bunkers consist of a centrally placed command post and three smaller satellite pillboxes. All are set partly below ground levels and are constructed in brick with reinforced concrete roofs. Initially identified as part of a Cold War experimental anti-aircraft radar code-named Newton Orange Yeoman, further investigation has shown that they are in fact part of a World War II anti-aircraft battery which pre-dated Orange Yeoman by about 10 years. The central bunker is a typical example of a 1940s Battery Command Post or BCP whilst the satellite bunkers are Type 23 pill-boxes. The latter are rare examples of construction in brick rather than concrete.
