Hi folks. I'm curious about the purpose of the WW2 bunker/observation post which can be found between Mitchell lodges and Hambledon Hill (Near the Kings Highway). It's been suggested to me it was part of a decoy airfield as its construction is very similar to the MOD plans of the time. I was always under the impression it was used as an observation post as part of the home defense network. Does anyone have any firm information on it?

Thanks for reading.
