and infantry live firing practice and exercises until the late 1950’s. Over subsequent years there
have been numerous UXO items reported by the public within this area and, in more recent years,
additional UXO have been located by remedial searching.

This area was the subject of a report by Defence: Ops Br 0447/92 (Q1300-3-12) published April
