Monument record MWX43422 - WWII defence feature Woodnesborough Gate, Sandwich

Summary

Lines of features are visible adjacent to a probable road block at Woodnesborough Gate, Sandwich, on 1942 aerial photographs. No traces of the features were visible on later 1940s RAF aerial photography. It seems likely that they are related to WWII defences and it has been suggested that they may indicate disturbed ground from a freshly laid minefield.
