WWII Unkown Structure? The Cliffs, Covehithe.
An unknown tank like structure originally buried beneath the ground, back from the cliff edge but due extensive Coastal Erosion, hundreds of feet of the cliff face has disappeared leaving structures like this exposed. Since this structure became exposed it has been unable to support its own weight breaking in half and leaving one half on the beach along with some large lumps of debris. My guess is the structure was possibly part of a sewage system, there is 'clinker' strewn around, used for filtering, possibly part of the early 1940's Coastal Artillery Battery and associated buildings were builtin this area, it was possibly connected, but later decommmissioned in favour of the new Battery at Easton Woods.
