Full Description

A firing range related to the WWI training camp. A trackway truncated the southwest corner of the feature resultng in exposed sections of bank. The suspected bu􀀸 had evidently been created by mounding earth from its eastern side where a wide shallow depression was found along its length.

To the north of this pistol range is another one (MNT27829) sharing the same alignment and rough dimensions, although the earthworks had suffered significantly less from natural erosion.
