Thanks for looking
 
Still another 3 lones to put up hope you all dont get too bored :)

Bored? Not a chance!

You are doing a sterling job of documenting all the defence structures - photographic evidence of them adds to the very limited DoB data. Are you submitting the info to the local HER Officers as well?

I do it periodically for the user submitted sites in the EDOB database but I've yet to see one appear in the relevant record. The more people do it the better.
