Source Number  

1 Two large concrete mooring blocks for a former radio mast at the rear of the main house at Newbold Revel house. These blocks were associated with the military use of the building during World War II. These consisted of large, wedge shaped concrete blocks with steel rings set into them. They were well preserved and there must originally have been at least four of them. The fact that these two still remain suggests that they have deep foundations.
