Full Description
Two lengths of defensive slit trenching dating to WWII are located on the edge of the River Stour, North Stonar and are visible on military aerial photographs.
The two stepped slit trench features are located just over 100m apart on the western edge of the River Stour. The northern trench is oriented NW-SE and covers a distance of around 50m, and the southern one is oriented N-S and covers a distance of 46m. The trenches are first visible on photographs taken in January 1942 [1] and have been mapped from a series taken in January 1945 [2]. The features are no longer visible by April 1950 [3].
The position of these features may be slightly inaccurate due to difficulties rectifying the photographs.
