This wild patch of weeds and trees are on the line of a military ditch. In 1758, the Chatham Lines of Defence were built. Over a mile long, they stretched across the neck of the dockyard peninsula, from Chatham Reach, south of the dockyard, across to Gillingham Reach on the opposite side towards Fort Amhurst. Some parts of the ditch still exist - Image
