Full Description
A section of trench, c 50m long, surrounds a dip in the cliff-edge of Pakefield Cliffs (S1). The natural gap would have allowed easier access up the cliffs from the beach. The trench was thus presumably constructed as a defensive feature and dates to the World War II period. The trench was still visible in 1945 (S2).
