Unknown installation, can anyone identify?

[Denis]

Jim C and myself spent a damp afternoon at Hunsdon again today. With the undergrowth really laid bare due to the cold temperature, we found something unusual. A square pad of concrete about eight inches thick measuring about 11'X 11'
Mounted within this are four heavy steel brackets, set at a distance of 8 foot apart, one in each corner. Does anyone know what this could have been??

In the forty years I have been walking this place, it never fails to surprise me!

Possibly the four brackets were the bottom section of legs that supported some high level tank ????

How remote is it ?
Is it on a dispersed site or technical??

[Denis]

It is behind a long gone dispersal, a few feet from what was a 'Technical block type A', converted to a RDF repair workshop. All this is not that far from the tech site. Nothing on the plans (no surprise there!)

Is to far away for a windsock mount???

[Denis]

It would have been one hell of a windsock for an eleven foot square concrete base, and four great big mounts like that Ian!

could it have been a lighting gantry or water tower base

Hi Denis your right i didnt quite get the dimensions quite right, the windsock would have been as big as a barrage balloon

I'm leaning toward raised Braithwaite tank for dispersed site.

All the dispersed sites are a mile to the west of the airfield MM, this is just off the northern edge of the airfield, and to the left of the remains of the north south runway.

Crumbs, there's not alot left of that airfield, no wonder you have spent forty years walking around it!
Sorry from an earlier post I thought it was intimated that it was found near a dispersed site, still thinking water tower, or is not possible?
