- The Airfield - LAA emplacement EDoB ID: e47785 This circular brick-built gun pit was probably one of several that were built for light anti-aircraft defence of the airfield. It lies on the north side of the road within the hedgeline, about 100 yards east of Egdon House. The recess to the rear was probably to house an ammunition locker. Not quite visible in this photo in the centre of the gun pit, is a tubular machine gun mounting called a 'Motley stalk'. Image
