Monument record FEX 107 - World War II anti-aircraft ditches.

Anti-aircraft ditches of World War II date can be seen on Felixstowe Marshes from 1944 onwards. They consist of shallow ditches with piles of upcast at either side and were meant to prevent aircraft from landing on flat open areas of countryside such as the marshes. There is no photographic coverage available for this area earlier than 1944 but the ditches may have been constructed as early as 1940 as similar ditches further south (FEX 109) are visible on photographs from that year.

Faint traces of these ditches can still be seen in 1965. (S3)
