A small collection of items found in between on the site of the former dump for the WW2 military hospital camp at Lydiard Park. They include a rubber lidded American manufactured medicine bottle and syringe fragment.

The dump was located outside the perimeter of the camp and occasionally items pertaining to the field hospital are dug up by badgers or foxes and can be spotted on the ground.
