Summary

A rapid earthwork identification survey in 2011 revealed two sections of trackway, perhaps associated with other Second World War features identified in the area. A subsequent desk-based survey using aerial photographs and lidar has recorded an extensive spread of boundaries and trackways of various dates (NHER 61542), and extensive evidence of Second World War activity (NHER 61543), of which the fragments recorded here form part.
