Concrete Blocks
Does anyone know what the succession of concrete outcroppings are in Hartham Common and in and around the meads. Kind of look like maybe the tops of bomb shelters or something.

Judging by the smell you occasionally get on some hot summer days, I think they must be something to do with the sewerage system.

I think they are Manhole covers for the main sewers, they are raised up above ground level because of the likelyhood of the area flooding - and if the flood water gets into the sewers this could cause problems.[xx(]

Oh how disappointing, mere manhole covers rather than some coldwar uber complex my flights of fancy made them. Makes sense I suppose.

They are part of Hertford's sewarage system.
