NS 4989 6225 (centred on) A watching brief was undertaken 1 December 2009 on the site of a residential development. The focus of the watching brief was the S side of a WW2 bunker which is located on the SW side of a WW2 antiaircraft battery. The bunker is situated on the N boundary of

the development area, near to the summit of Dykebar Hill. The bunker revetting/ramping material consisted of soil and rubble containing modern finds. The ramping material was machine cleared from the S face of the bunker and this revealed the outside (S face) of a brick blast wall on the E

side of the bunker. Part of the W side of the bunker remained masked by soil deposits that were left in situ. No finds or features pre-dating the construction of the WW2 bunker

were found.
