Monument record TR 35 NW 113 - World War II defences/earthwork

Summary

The amphitheatre at Richborough was fortified as a defensive position during WWII, this slit trench forms part of that scheme. The defensive features were removed following WWII; the slit trenching appears to have been infilled by the late 1940s and appears to have been totally levelled since.
