Full Description
A number of geometric trenches can be seen as cropmarks in a field of cereal on photographs from July 1940. They are similar in nature to the cropmark of a nearby practice trench (FEX 115) which may possibly date from World War I. They may also be military practice trenches. (S1)
They are not visible on photographs taken at later dates.
