Monument record SBT 036 - Sibton, Auxiliary unit operational base

Sibton Auxiliary unit operational base (S1).
The operational base was built into the steep bank of a small stream skirting the edge of mature woodland (Kendall’s Wood) near South Green / Grove Farms. The main chamber and entrance shaft are intact but the emergency exit tunnel had collapsed and was excavated in 2001/2. The OB consists of a 12ft Nissen hut resting on a base of red brick, with end walls and the drop down entrance shaft built from red brick. The entrance shaft cover is missing, and access is provided by a series of steel rungs set across one corner (S2).
