J trench

J trench is shaped like the letter J and is approximately 174 feet long, with each zig zag being 12 foot (well one is 13 foot). The second trench behind it (W Trench) offers good covering positions. Although the photographs do not show too much,the scale drawing does.



The above two trenches are on the left of the crest and provide an excellent defensive position.
