I was told that the trenches were dug out during the World war two,to stop enemy
aircraft from landing,and once a upon a time there two cannons pointing out over
Accrington,they were next to stone monument.
I am also told they were vandalised and rolled down the coppice,the wooden gun mounts survived and they were still there a few years ago.
