NT26SW 138 centred 23358 64337

Extensive remains of practice trenches, probably dating to between the first and second world wars, and small areas of ground where the turf has been removed to form fox-holes or bivouacs, including some of very recent date, are visible in woodland and open fields on the E flank of Castlelaw Hill and on the S flank of Woodhouselee Hill. In addition, a concentration of craters, probably the result of mortar-bomb practice, is visible, though now enshrouded in gorse, at NT 23277 64481.
