Full Description
Two slit trenches of Second World War date are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs, cut into the valley side to the north of Martlesham village, Martlesham parish. Both trenches are at the tip of a small headland overlooking a tributary of the River Fynn, just above the 20 metre contour. They are probably associated with a military complex, possibly a radar station or searchlight battery, circa 150 metres to the south (MRM 117). (S1, S2)
