This flak battery is part of the kelling camp, the batterys housed Bofor guns, there are three gun pits each with there own pump house/bunker beside. One can be accessed by a very dodgy wooden ladder. The whole camp is a large area which is well worth a wander around if you in the area, we found ww1 and ww2 pill boxes, one is being restored with its original trenches around. On the far side of the field are two bunkers that were used to house generators that lit up a false airfield on top of the hill used to confuse the germans. While in the area its worth continuing along the coast to Salt house to see the remains of the radar tower that was brought down at the chain station by a Lancaster in 1945, I have some photos if any ones interested.
Thanks on to the photos.

Found this builing at the top of the hill

We think it was some kind of storage facility it once contained a fresh air ventilation system
