At present the site is unknown. Possibly in Burton Wood west of Curry Rivel. Another suggested site location was in the paddock behind Rock House. The childhood home Charles Mico. While digging a trench to lay a new pipe in the area in the 1990s they found a lot of corrugated steel sheeting buried.
There was an old sink with 1 cwt of sugar in it behind one of the garage doors at Thornfalcon Garage, the home of Wilfred Knight which was ready to put into the fuel tanks of German tanks / vehicles, to block up the fuel system, and stop them from working.
Phosphorus bombs were found in the 1970’s at Manor Farm the home of Sergeant Glide. When they were about to start digging foundations for a new farm building he told them to stop! He told them what was buried there so they had to get the bomb disposal team to clear the site so work could start on the new building.
