Description

1997. RCHME field survey. This was probably a timber structure. Larger than the guardhouse (EHER 81739), it may perhaps be a candidate for either the telephone hut or the wireless telegraphy hut, mentioned in the RAF survey. <1> The building is depicted on the 3rd edition OS map.<2> Note: When the site was listed, EHER 81731 was reinterpreted as the wireless telegraphy hut, so this structure may have been the telephone hut.
