Full Description
{1} Notes the recent publication of a locally produced book on the British Army manoeuvres in Northamptonshire during September 1913: "As the final 'battle' took place around Badby I've looked at Google coverage and have found two pairs of short lengths of trench dug at right angles to each other. One pair is on the NW corner of Arbury Hill and the other is on the spoil bank above Catesby tunnel. They are both quite subtle features."
