Monument record HLY 170 - Site of Second World War training activity
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Second World War training activity is visible on aerial photographs as areas of disturbed ground, tracks and trenches. The site was almost certainly part of Woodbridge Training Area (SUT 250). It is not known whether any elements of the site still survive as earthworks; on recent aerial photographs much of the site appears to have been levelled.
