Monument record MWX51520 - Second World War anti tank ditch
Summary
A section of Second World War anti tank ditch is visible as an earthwork and soilmarks on aerial photographs taken in 1945, though the earthwork ditch has been backfilled and is visible as soilmarks on aerial photographs taken in 2006. A pillbox is located on the northern side of the ditch where is crosses Cauldham Lane (1417699). This section of anti tank ditch is part of a much more extensive system of ditches which extend around the north of Folkestone and out of the project area of the South East Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment.
