Summary
Map
Type and Period (1)
Full Description
The PSG list the block as extant, but there is no indication of the block's location or condition.Given the scouring of the beach at this point where the mouth of the Bride drastically varies its configuration, the block was almost certainly ex-situ when found. RAF vertical aerial photographs of the area dated March 1948 are unhelpful in resolving its original position and associations as the beach is over-exposed.
Royal Air Force, 09-MAR-1948, RAF/CPE/UK/2475 3071-3 (Aerial Photograph). SDO11873.
