Hi Dayshaddow

Welcome to the forum. Nice picture. Is that taken with a UAV?

Interesting structures too. The ground looks chalky... South downs? Looks like just off the A20, at Folkestone. ;)

This web site has some pictures of the area suggesting there's an anti-tank ditch running along the ridge above the tunnel entrance. maybe these structures are also fortifications, or emplacements?

Nothing on the Landranger map. This other photo suggests the features may come and go?...

Very good guess on it's location but the image was taken from google earth while looking for a new spot to fly my rc helicopter.The creatures are far to small to be any fortification and will fill with water and quickly become covered in plants. Im going to be heading back there in an hour or so so lets hope for something amazing to be found this time 8-)

The features look like man made structures to me...the rocks need something to indicate scale with a filed or cut surface to see inside to be able to say anything about them.
