Royal Navy wireless Direction Finding Station, Sheigra.

Royal Navy wireless Direction Finding Station, Sheigra.

 

A reference was found to a WWII RN DF station at Sheigra, the site was found by looking around the area on Google Earth and the postwar aerial photographs.

 

There is concrete path up to the site and originally there seemed to be a structure at the bottom of the track. I thought the concrete path could perhaps have been a cover over a cable duct but there does not seem to have been a duct or pipe under it.

 

The building is long and narrow, there were four masts (probably 100 ft) around the site, each conected by a trench to the building.

 

There is a strange group of concrete pillars on each side of the building.

 

There was a suggestion that there could have been an earlier Post Office station in the area.
