Monument record MBC45233 - Temporary ammunition dumps along the road between Adstock and Thornborough, approximately 920m north of Adstock

Temporary ammunition dumps of World War II date are visible on historic aerial photographs as extant buildings and were mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located along the road between Adstock and Thornborough, approximately 920m north of Adstock, and centred at SP 73804 31181. Group of three hutments on the north side of the road, close to a bend, all parallel to the road; they measure approximately 10x4m. The hutments were temporary and usually made of corrugated metal, covered and camouflaged and they are not present on the 1948 photograph. There are 13 groups of hutments along the roads between Thornborough and Padbury and Adstock with a possible military camp near Coombs Farm, Padbury, which may have been to support these ammunition dumps (see MBC45223). This is conjectural and the buildings may have been associated with the brickworks to the north of Coombs Farm. (1-4)
