A system of fire trenches running roughly parellel to the A249 at its junction with Scragged Oak Road, which are detailed below. It is marked as unfinished on The Chatham Land Defence Map (2).

Trench one resembles a "V" laid on its side between points "A" grid ref 579727-158651 to point "B" the point of the "V" at grid ref 579846-158673 and back to point "C" at grid ref 579786-158621. This trench is shown as having 4 MGEs and there is an OP just South West of the western end of the upper part of the trench in the corner of Reed Wood.

The main sections of the redoubt run to form two rough squares, one open on one side. These run approximatly east from point "A" ref 579879-158693 to "B" ref 579901-158699 there south est to "C" ref 580019-158690 then east to "D" ref 580152-158742 then north to "E" ref 580185-158812 then west to "F" ref 579904-158856 then north east to "G" 5759994-159050 east to "H" ref 580295-159107 . At point "H" the trench joins another which runs north from point "E". Also from point "H" another (unfinished) trench runs approximatley north east to behind the Le Feaux trench line, this will be recorded separately, as will the nearby Upton Redoubt and the Broarder Lane trench..
