No photo I’m afraid. I was trundling about the marsh on a traction engine and we stopped there for lunch. It didn’t occur to me to take a photo because I expected to find it in the KDRG book. It’s quite clear on google maps. I took a screen shot but got into a complete muddle trying to make it compatible to this site so I gave up! Where was the landing ground please?

Sounds likely to have been an AA mount as it is right next to the WW2 Air Landing Ground. Do you have a photo?

AA Gun Site on Romney Marsh?
« Reply #1 on: October 13, 2020, 05:08:42 PM »
On the road between Appledore and Brookland there is what appears to to be a gun site. There is a raised platform with a nearby concrete foundation that could have been for an accommodation block. It is at OS map reference TQ 9604 2702, just by Beckett’s Bridge. I can’t find reference to it in the Kent Defence Research Group publication ‘A Handbook of Kent’s Defences. Has someone out there any idea what the site was please?
