<center><h1><u>The Defence of Britain</u></h1></center><table width=400><tr><td><br><br><b>Description:</b> The site of a Royal Air Force Chain Home Low radar station at Marks Castle established by October 1940. Chain Home Low (CHL) stations provided early warning of approaching low-flying enemy aircraft during the Second World War. CHL sites typically comprised two gantries carrying the transmitter and receiver aerial arrays, a transmitter and receiver hut, a standby set house for the reserve power, and a general purposes hut. Defence measures installed at radar stations included Light Anti-Aircraft gun emplacements, pillboxes, road blocks and air raid shelters. Aerial photography from 1987 shows the remains of building bases at the site, and the possible remnants of aerial plinths. <br><br><b>Designation:</b> CHL17A Marks castle.</td></tr><tr><td><br><br><b>Source: </b>NMR <a href="http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1477246">Click here for more details</a></td></tr><tr><td><br><br><b>EDOBID: </b>e25129</td></tr><tr><td><br><br><b>Last Edited: </b></td></tr><tr><td><br><br><b>Images: </b>None</td></tr></table></center>
