Monument record MDO29837 - Possible Second World War military site, Littlesea Holiday Park, Chickerell

A group of buildings and structures are visible on aerial photographs of Littlesea Holiday Park, Chickerell, taken in 1947. It is possible they could be the remains of a military site associated with Second World War activity in this area. Alternatively they may be related to former agricultural activities.

A group of buildings and structures are visible on aerial photographs of Littlesea Holiday Park, Chickerell, taken in 1947 (1). It is possible they could be the remains of a military site associated with Second World War activity in this area. Alternatively they may be related to former agricultural activities. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by a modern holiday park.
