THE 200 FOOT SOUND MIRROR - Denge, District of Shepway, Kent
Author(s): Roger Bowdler
Peter Kendall, Ancient Monuments Inspector for the South-East Region, has asked for documentary historical information regarding the construction of this early anti-aircraft detection device on the south coast, close to Dungeness. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, the wall is included on the EH Buildings at Risk Register and is regarded as being in very bad condition. This report —supplementary to the full account provided in Richard Scarth's 1999 book Echoes from the Sky— offers an outline historical account, surveys the documentary evidence, outlines the construction of the mirror and offers an initial assessment as to its significance.
