Visited with Prickly_Buzz and darkhole.
The site consists of three WWII era buildings that were used for the storage of ammunition, by the Royal Ordnance Corps. There would have originally been a deep shelter at the front of the site, but was demolished long ago. There's not a lot of documentation or history on this one.
It's still in MoD hands and sees the occasional army exercise or two, along with the odd airsoft boob popping down from time-to-time. From the looks of the spent 5.56mm blanks all over the place, I'd say they were doing CQC training of some sort.
Signs warning soldiers.
Front of the site.
Entrance to one of the bunkers.
Sections for storing ammunition.
Writing on the wall.
Graffiti.
Between the blast enclosure and the front of one of the bunkers. Some cool old window frames still exist.
Spent smoke grenade.
Some original camouflage paintwork remains.
Blast protected entrance with resident sheep.
Big ups and thanks to Prickly_Buzz and darkhole.
