NH76NE 297.01 77786 66342 Trenches

A World War I practice trench system was situated in a field to the SE of Crmarty Mains Farmsteading. All the trenches have now been ploughed out.

J Guy 2000; NMRS MS 810/10, Vol.2, 104

The trench system is visible on RAF vertical air photographs (106G/UK751, 6034-6035 flown 31 August). The air photographs show a fairly concentrated group of trenches of complicated pattern at NH 7960 6615, with a small triangular trench about a 100m to the SE. In addition, there is what appears to be earthworks running alongside the NW to SE fence which runs adjacent to this site.
