NS4278 : Concrete blocks of Starfish Decoy
taken 10 years ago, near to Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Concrete blocks of Starfish Decoy
The main group of concrete blocks associated with this decoy is in an area extending from the south-east to the east of here. The two blocks in the present picture stand apart from that group, but they are only a few metres from a prominent NS4278 : Water-filled bomb crater.
The nearer of the blocks is shown from the other side in NS4278 : Concrete block of Starfish Decoy.
Nearby are the faint traces of eight square structures that were laid out in a regular pattern: see NS4278 : Traces of a square structure.
