Communications Bunker

On the high ground of Godlingston Hill  were three underground bunkers associated with World War 2 radio communication masts, one remains visible and in use, the other two , which used to be accessible, have in recent years been buried. Now the only accessible feature of this World War 2 site is located at the base of Godlingston Hill, above Knitsom Farm. Probably some type of control building, being larger and more complicated than the hilltop sites. A flight of stairs leads to a brick and concrete building, a corridor with two rooms to the side leads to a large underground room with corrugated iron shuttered re enforced concrete roof, this room accommodated several smaller rooms, although there has been considerable damage done post war and only a small section of central dividing wall remains. One end wall has been exposed and removed, opening up the building and allowing cattle to shelter inside. Exposure to the elements has not helped this sites preservation, although many interesting features remain making it worth a visit if you're into this type of stuff, in fact, this area of the Purbecks is gifted with several unique World War 2 structures.
