Two decoy targets at Northam Radar Station is a Second World War defensive installation located in Devon. The site consists of two constructed decoy targets designed to mislead enemy aircraft and protect the operational radar station during aerial bombardment. As part of Britain's air defence infrastructure during the 1940s, these decoys represent the practical measures undertaken to safeguard critical military installations from Luftwaffe attack. The structures survive as physical evidence of wartime engineering and the defensive strategies employed across the south-western counties during the conflict.
