I am not taking this lightly at all. Obviously this is a serious matter. We check all military sites and training areas for material which may be dangerous to the public before we vacate them, and we erect notices warning about the dangers in training areas still in use. This dump was found on common land outside the area of Dartmoor which we use for training.
