Full Description
Trenches visible on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs [1], lying adjacent to a probable military facility (MWX43047). Three roughly parallel trenches are visible, spaced c. 14m apart. They are thought to be related to the military site, perhaps representing a simple trenched air raid shelter.
It is unclear if the features remain as earthworks, none are visible on modern aerial photographs [2] but they may be obscured by tree growth.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [3].
