Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

1995 Wheatcroft Battery exists archaeologically only now, with the exception of two pre-war houses - Wheatcroft Lodge and Melton - which were requisitioned for use in connection with the battery. Otherwise, there are no standing structures surviving, only earthworks. Earthwork depressions are to the sites of searchlights (2) , 6in gun sites (2) , magazine, battery observation post, possible spigot mortar pit, as well as many other battery points (see additional information with this record).

(This site was surveyed on behalf of the Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society).
