During WW2, the barrow was damaged in order to insert an anti-aircraft post, one of five light anti-aircraft gun emplacements that made up part of the airfield defences of the Radio School at RAF Yatesbury. The extant gun emplacement consists of a twin gun‐pit, blast shelter and zig‐zag blast corridor.
