The Ordnance Survey has a good reputation for care and diligence. They are also a government/military organisation (the Ordnance bit)
So if something is omitted from their maps, other than for a short while between building the something and the next survey, then it has been removed at official insistence. Some section with plenty of clout.
Perfect proof that it's something hush-hush.
Historically, 'Official Secrets' have been better at keeping information from the British public than from the Russians, considering the number of Russian agents running around in the hush-hush agencies - and that's only the ones we know of!
