Monument record MWX43426 - Alignment of WWII trench and bank features, north of Deal

An alignment of four WWII trench and bank features, situated north of Deal, and mapped from military aerial photographs taken in June 1942 [1]. The northern feature is likely to be an observation trench measuring 8m with a surrounding bank. This feature was first visible in June 1942 [1] and although it appears to be out of use by February 1946 [2], it is no longer apparent by April 1950 [3]. The remaining features are smaller trench features with curvi-linear banks on the seaward side - these are thought to be fox holes. They are first visible by August 1941 [4] and are levelled by February 1946 [2].
