Full Description
March 2011. Walkover Survey.
Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey. Houghen Plantation.
Sites 9-11:
A number of depressions were observed that might be part of a World War Two practice trench system to the east (NHER 52438). An oval depression aligned north to south measuring 10 x 5m and up to 1.5m deep is located in the western area of the site with a series of smaller sharp edged depressions being located 30m to the north-east of this feature and a further two rectangular depressions measuring 2 x 2m and 0.4m deep to the south-east. It is possible that these depressions are of a military origin and may be degraded slit trenches.
