Full Description

NMRS Report: (24/04/2006)
ND34SW 311.06 33466 43890

This concrete structure, which is one of four on the decoy airfield (ND34SW 311.03-06), stands in the NW corner of a field within a peat moss, some 530m ENE of Borrowston farmsteading and well within the NE corner of the airfield complex. Defined by concrete walls 0.28m in thickness by 1.1m in height, it is H-shaped on plan, but the sides are of unequal length and return inwards at their ends. In this case the sides measure 7.3m and 5m in length respectively, and the cross-wall is 2.4m in length; the returns are 1.2m in length. One of the structures has a steel loop set in the concrete floor on either side of the cross-wall, but here the interior was obscured by standing water. The structures are probably tethers, possibly for dummy aircraft.
