Hougham Battery
Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOU : Hougham Battery
Hougham Battery is a WWII coastal defence battery built in 1941 between Dover and Folkestone, equipped with 3 8" Mark VIII naval guns.
The construction of the A20 in the 1970s caused most of the battery to be covered with earth, so little can be seen on the surface, though access is possible to the underground battery plotting room.
