Full Description
Lulworth Camp is a army base, home to the Armoured Fighting Vehicle Gunnery School which runs Lulworth ranges. Features associated with the early 20th century use of the camp were visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945 and 46 and were digitally plotted during the Wild Purbeck Mapping Project (1-4). The features included slit trenching, barracks blocks and larger administrative buildings which have since been demolished.
