it doesnt look like it, the one on manor lane still exists, on the top of the bank is a circular mound with an entrance point, at the side, going down hill, towards the farm house are two huge ledges cut out of the bankside. further down hill which runs parallel with manor lane are two square dug outs and a road surface in between. as you go down manor lane, past top of the drive way to manor cottage farm, and just before you get to the houses on your left is the remains of another AA site. only bit which suvives are two ledges cut out of the bankside. thanks for your reply.
