Having seen a few pictures of this site on here from Stuey, but finding VERY little else about it on the net we thought we would investigate it futher....

This site contains four very large fuel oil tanks (45 paces in diameter and approx 22ft high) and are covered in large earth mounds, much evidence of interconnecting pipework exists in the forest.

futher research concludes these things are all around the country, one still in plymouth (was one more until recently), one at falmouth, bristol, poole etc

pretty amazing site
 
Kernowexpeditionary thank you for posting this. I've been to a few WW2 era fuel depots but I've never actually seen inside the underground tanks, all the fuel depots in my neck of the woods are either still in use or mothballed.
