Full Description

A World War II anti-aircraft ditch constructed before April 1944. It consists of a shallow ditch with piles of upcast at either side and was meant to prevent aircraft from landing on areas of flat open countryside. (S1) (S2) The ditch was constructed at an earlier date than the nearby HAA battery (FEX 110) and does not appear to be directly related.
