There was a Nuclear Monitering Bunker at Brasted during the Cold War
Brasted ROC Post.
On the West side of Brasted Hill Road, 150 yards South of its junction with Pilgrims Lane.
DEMOLISHED.
A bracket for an extra insulator on a nearby telegraph pole probably served the post.
Opened in 1962 and closed in 1968.

Thank you for your email of 24 April 2020 requesting the following information: “I am interested in seeking the location of the Auxiliary Unit bunker or zero station that was operational during ww2 located in or near Brasted in kent.” I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and I can confirm that no information in scope of your request is held.

Yes, some of the techniques for concealing these dugouts were extremely effective. The other Kent Zero station that Roy Russell often mentioned was, or is, in Brasted. This one is, I believe is yet to be found. The obvious location is Brasted Chart which I have spent many hours wandering around in but found no sign of it.
