Ringborough World War II coast artillery battery

Parts of the coast in this area are eroding at some of the fastest rates in the country and the damage being done to archaeological remains is only too clear. The Ringborough World War II coast artillery gun emplacements and associated camp were recorded on aerial photographs over a period of ten years. In the first photographs the gun emplacements that were once set back from the cliff edge have already fallen victim to the erosion. Ten years on and the modern farm is at risk.
