Hi Joolio
Yes it is 20th century, though I don't believe it's an airraid shelter. I think it's a local irrigation/water thingy.*
* Thingy= maybe a basin/cistern/pumping thang that serves Enstone village,

Did you find the Hawk Stone, in a field about 3 miles west of the Hoar Stone? It's an unsung treasure.

Thank for the swift response. I'm afraid I didn't find the Hawkstone I was just following TMA yesterday. That will be a future mission I shall definately go back to the Hoar Stone it is an excellent place and the weather yesterday was superb aswell. At least it was until I got to Lyneham Longbarrow where I got drenched so I didn't hang around long. It cleared up though by the time I got to the Rollrights and I had a good hour or so up there before the sun went down.
