Watch tower in strange place…..

There is a RAF WWII Watch Tower style building at Twynning near Tewksbury Glos. It is on the edge of the village. It is a long way from any airfield… So could any one out there shed some light on it….? What is it and why is it there.

Twyning, yes i have heard of that place, but i am not sure about a WWII watch tower, do you mean that military style building near the old chicken sheds Hillend?,because thats deffo agricultural.

I drive through Twyning a fair bit and can’t say as I’ve noticed it! A friend of mine is local so he will be the man to answer the question. Defford is not a million miles away, buy far enough to not be mixed up with Twyning..

Grid Ref/Lat Long?

There were a couple of military things around Myth/Twynning during the war but if you can give me a position I might be able to pinpoint it a bit better.
