HAA Battery: DoB ID: e00022
The main room of the control bunker, the Plotting Room. This partially subterranean structure is now seriously under water, and home to a colony of newts.
Scheduled by Historic England, the site is well preserved, the sole survivor of five such sites within the RNCF (Holton Heath) HAA group, and one of the very few to have survived in the whole of Dorset. With thanks to Rob Farrington, RSPB Arne Visitor Experience Manager for permission to access this historically important site.
