D-Day landing craft maintenance site on the River Dart immediately to the south of Lower Noss Point is a World War II installation dating from 1944. The site comprises the remains of facilities constructed to service and maintain amphibious landing craft in preparation for the Normandy invasion and subsequent operations. Located within the sheltered waters of the Dart estuary, the installation took advantage of the river's strategic position and natural harbour for operational support. The physical remains reflect the temporary nature of wartime military infrastructure, with evidence of the engineering works and hard standings required to sustain intensive maintenance operations during this critical period of the campaign in north-west Europe.
