Abstract: |
During March and November 1999 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of the site of the North Weald Redoubt, at Ongar Radio Station, Essex. The redoubt is an example of a mobilisation centre for the defence of London, built towards the end of the 19th century. The redoubt is one of the best preserved examples of 13 such centres constructed for the defence of London during the 1890s. These were defensible assembly points for a mobile field force where stores and provisions could be kept and collected. (This was report number 17/2000 in a previous series) |
