This Spigot Mortar Emplacement is hidden in a hedge in Leaden Roding. It is one of 3 within about 150 yards. The stainless steel spigot on the top is in perfect condition hard to believe it's been there 70 years. I was told by a local, who has one in his garden, that there are others nearby. They were for WW2 Home Guard use.
