15m to the north-east of the north-eastern point of the Queen’s Sconce, the concrete slab base of a structure was revealed in the western side of the path strip. Structure 116 comprised four rectangular slabs placed at 90° to the nearby hedge line, with a combined width of 11.3m. The structure was found to measure 11.3m x 3.6m, with the concrete slabs, 0.07m deep, laid across 0.5m high concrete beams; the space below the floor was filled with loose 19th century brick rubble. The monitoring archaeologist was informed by a member of the Friends of Sconce and Devon Park that the structure had been a World War II Home Guard hut, used for storage and shelter. The slabs were removed. (1)
