Unfilled anti-tank ditch.
(Source: Book 1999)
Remarkable surviving sections (some 500 yards) of anti-tank ditch running within woodland. Long lengths survive to original width and depth, and include the sharp-angled corners and a short spur length running up to pillbox UORN 8550. The rampart of the ditch, on its N and E side, also survives. The ditch (in its best preserved sections) is some 15ft wide at the top and 6ft at the bottom, with a depth of some 10ft. The rampart is some 15ft wide and 2ft-3ft high.
