Abstract: |
A metal-detector survey, watching brief and building recording was carried out on 1 May 2018 during the soil strip for a single house development. The watching brief revealed the corner of one of the poured concrete hut bases with sand underneath and wood still in situ from the shuttering constructed in advance of pouring the concrete. Finds include a dump of ordnance, batteries, wire and cabling, copper alloy box, metal fittings, ceramic including a white dinner plate with NAAFI logo and glassware. Limited research suggests that the camp may have been used as a recuperation base for troops during WW2, possibly as an internment camp for Italians (and possibly Germans) after which it may have been used as a Displaced Persons camp. Further research is ongoing at time of writing this report. |
