Overview

History & significance

RAF Neatishead Type 84 radar modulator building and four radar plinths is a Cold War defensive installation located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a modulator building and four associated concrete plinths that supported Type 84 radar equipment, which formed part of Britain's air defence network during the mid to late twentieth century.
