The Direction Finding Station would be used to triangulate the position of planes using radio signals or radar. The walls here are about 4ft thick and surround the perimeter of the building, presumably to protect against any enemy attacks. Between the surrounding walls and the main building is a passageway running around the perimeter, which allows for access to some side store rooms.
Just up the road is the Battle HQ (which is now flooded so I couldn’t get any photos down there), a Mushroom Pillbox, and a Stanton Shelter.
I counted the sections in this shelter and there are 18 overall which means that it was able to hold around 50 men:
Mushroom Pillboxes offer an uninterrupted 360 degree view. They have a tabular rail running around the inside which was used as the support for a gun mount. The weapon was fixed onto the mount and then moved around the pillbox as required.
Thanks for looking,
