Situated atop the north western end of Rhossili Downs, the Rhossili Down radar station was built in 1942, as part of 'Chain Home Low', a network of World War II radar stations covering the Bristol Channel. Operated by the Army and Royal Air Force with the aim of detecting low flying aircraft at 500 feet (150 m), early warning could then be sent to Swansea upon discovering incoming German bombers.
The entire structure was decommissioned in 1945 at the war's conclusion. It was subsequently demolis
