all that remains of a decoy airfield 

small bunker type construction with a searchlight mounted on top  and a small room at the back to house a gennerator

fires would have been light at night at this location to fool the german bombers to target here instead of  the real site a few miles away

the searchlight platform is now fallien off and just a pile of bricks and metal

Cool little piece of history there :)  I wonder how many of these types of places are dotted around the country

As much as it looks like nothing much to a passer by its a nice little snippet of history :)
