  1. I think what you have found here is an ROC (Royal Observer Corps) structure. The ROC would stand in a small fortified structure and telephone back information such as an approximate count, the direction and speed of enemy aircraft and what kind they were. It may once have had a roof and it was probably corrugated iron, and it might have had corrugated iron walls with big windows in at one time. The concrete was to duck behind if you got shot at or bombed, and being thick it's easier to leave it there when you don't need it any more than it is to knock down. There might have been an undercroft too to house a small office; a lot of these just got concreted in after the war.
