Earthworks of two areas of possible World War Two practice trenches are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2) on land to the south of Church Farm, South Cove. It is possible that further World War Two activity is visible to the north of the trenches, which may be related to the possible compounds to the north east (SHER SCV 028 and SCV 029).
