Concrete Ramp

I am rather confused as to what this would have been used for.

Firstly I thought for loading/unloading bombs but it is beside other buildings so I ruled that out.

Radar Platform? - Again not sure as the radar platforms I have seen are usually just 2 narrow ramps with a hollow centre rather than how this one looks.

On looking at the Aerial photo you can see one small building immediately above the trees. The next building I believe is a fabric Store and this ramp is on the right side of the track when going to the top of the picture.

Can anyone assist please?

A truckbed-height unloading ramp is often found near the Main Stores of wartime-build airfields.

I think we've covered these before quite some time ago, will have to dig out the tread. ;)

The foundations for the demolished storage sheds appear to be on the south side of the ramp.
