I may have driven over this roundabout, the area is completely built over so I would imagine nothing is left, or is it??

Vill04 Carrefour St Arnoult-Cour Manables
le Coteau Carrefour where there were two 5cm KwK guns covering the roundabout and the railway crossing and (yellow square) the site of where I think an R617 Signalling post for a telephone exchanges. There would have been a criss cross of military telephone and teleprinter cables running up and down the coast and many junction boxes were needed. This was a manned bunker with a large crew room, liaison room, switchboard, cable rolls & charger room for the batteries.
