RAF Kete
RAF Kete (AMES 69A) was established early in the Second World War as a Chain Home Low (CHL) radar station for the tracking of low-flying aircraft; it was never an airfield.
It was later absorbed into HMS Harrier (SM 801 045) a Royal Navy Fighter Direction School and also a School of Meteorology. It closed in 1960 and a few earth banks are all that now remain. Near Kete, on the west side of the road to St Ann’s Head is a Cold War structure, a Royal Observer Corps nuclear monitoring post.
Further along the road, on the opposite side, can be seen the brick huts which housed the staff of the wartime RAF Chain Home Low radar post.
