I cannot provide a reliable description of this specific site. While World War II bombing decoys (known as decoy sites or "Q-sites") are well-documented as a category of heritage monument, I have no established scholarly information about the particular decoy located 500m east of Bland's Plantation in Yorkshire, or access to verified details from NHLE list entry 1020404. To write with accuracy about its physical character, construction methods, operational history, or specific significance would require consultation of primary sources or specialist heritage documentation that I cannot verify. I recommend contacting the relevant local heritage authority or consulting the official National Heritage List for England entry directly for authoritative information about this site.
