Monument record BAW 063 - World War II practice trenches on the beach.

Probable World War II practice trenches are visible on the beach to the south of Shingle Street from 1941 onwards. The feature consists of a small network of trenches that are interlinked, one appears to be in a crenellated pattern. (S1) (S2) In the Floodlight Series photographs from 1953 the trenches are particularly clear and a bomb crater is also visible. It is unclear when this bomb was dropped but it appears to post-date the practice trenches. (S3)
