One of the sites for the short-lived 'Aces High' military radio network of the cold war period, superseded by satellite systems. The only visible remains of this are the far partly derelict buildings. The near tower pre-dated this period, the far one post-dated it (and may still be operational). The Aces High system had two further towers and several dishes, all now dismantled. Some of the remaining buildings now are now put to civil uses, but apparently not on Sundays.
