i have not seen any recent reports from this place.its somewhere I have wanted to see for so long now.if your a World War Two buff like me then this place has it all.gun emplacements,two watch towers,several unusual pillboxes,spigot mortar bases,and tunnels and various buildings,the whole site is fairly overgrown and quite heavily trashed..beacon hill originally started as a defensive fort in 1810 as protection to harwich port.but as the Second World War broke out and a threat of invasion.the place was heavily fortififiedc,along with another one over the water at nearby Felixstowe.a serious threat of invasion was seen as being here.i really liked the underground ammomdumps,several had been put in the original tunnels from the napoleonic wars..I would like to revisit in winter when all the overgrowth has died down.
