Some years ago I undertook an archaeological survey of Seacombe Quarry for the National Trust to identify and record any possible World war Two features. There are several archaeological feature from the period, although most would go unnoticed, trenches always easy to overlook, the most striking and noticeable period feature is the rusting cupola of a rare Allen Williams Turret. Only 199 were ever commissioned, after the war most were salvaged for scrap metal, and it's believed that now only 33 remain, making this a very important archaeological site. Although in rough shape, it's not done that badly with many of its original features remaining. Worth a visit if your this way and like old stuff.
