Full Description
WWII slit trenches visible on aerial photography taken in 1942, 1945 and 1947 [1, 2 and 3], located in Dover. These ditches were of unknown function, but may have provided a training or defensive purpose. The site measured 40m x 24m at maximum dimensions and was covered by three lines of barbed wire (MWX43624). It was located 60m S of Western Heights (MKE7019 and NMR 468101). The feature was no longer visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [4], although the area was under grassland.
