Full Description
A small network of ditches, dug to prevent aircraft landing during WWII, are visible on 1941 RAF vertical aerial photographs [1]. Intermittent banking was also present on the south and east sides of the ditches. They appear to have been infilled by 1946 as they are no longer visible on RAF vertical aerial photographs of this date [2].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [3].
