August 2001 photos and notes by Tom Page

The only traces of this former gap-filler radar site located atop Peaked Hill on Martha`s Vineyard are the three radar-tower foundations (of which two are seen here) and the poles of the chain-link fence (not pictured here). The remaining radar-tower foundation is under the bush to the far right. Also, there was no sign of the Army`s WW-II air warning station (AWS) at this location. [looking west-northwest]

The clearing where the radar building used to stand. It now serves as a parking area for a very scenic overlook. Locals who know about this site come up here to watch sunsets and other views. [looking ~ southwest]
