They are thought to date from the Second World War and are considered to be military in origin due to there close proximity to Chickerell Camp (MDO893) and there location on the access route for the naval decoy recorded at Chickerell Hive point (MDO29731). The features are not visible on the most up to date comprehensive imagery available to the project (2/3).
