Archaeology Notes

NS98SW 87 c. 9378 8160

For Grangemouth Airfield (centred NS 93529 80670), see NS98SW 23.00.

A road block has been identified from an oblique RAF wartime air photograph (No.1 CAM, no.24698, flown 15 June 1944) in Bo'ness Road immediately to the N of the Grangemouth Airfield aircraft hangars (NS98SW 23.06).

The road block consisted of blocks alternately from the N and S sides of the road with short stub blocks opposite.

The road block was removed during the postwar period.
