The semi-circle of more scrubby looking grass is the location of a World War Two barrage balloon mooring site in Pucklechurch. There are various small concrete pads set into this area of ground, some with metal rings attached, and also the outline of a small building. The exposed concrete in the foreground is the most obvious feature that would be evident to a casual observer visiting this site.
