Abstract: |
Peter Kendall, Ancient Monuments Inspector for the South-East Region, has asked for documentary historical information regarding the construction of this early anti-aircraft detection device on the south coast, close to Dungeness. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, the wall is included on the EH Buildings at Risk Register and is regarded as being in very bad condition. This report -supplementary to the full account provided in Richard Scarth's 1999 book Echoes from the Sky- offers an outline historical account, surveys the documentary evidence, outlines the construction of the mirror and offers an initial assessment as to its significance. |
