{1} Seagull trenches at SP57303341
{2} The investigation of Seagull trench confirmed the status of this asset as removed. Historically, the feature was recorded in the HER based on visibility in 1946 aerial photography, though it was subsequently noted as "now removed". On site visual inspection of the designated "monument area" identified no visible surface remains or earthwork signatures. The location currently comprises level grassland, consistent with the HER assessment that the feature has been fully cleared.
