HOUGHAM BATTERY PLOTTING ROOM
Built to correlate information for the guns, the plotting room at Hougham would have served the nearby battery, which consisted of 3 gun placements and other smaller AA guns. The complex consists of nine rooms, and is still in very good condition. The only part missing is the ventilation system, which has been totally removed, probably for scrap.
