112 D. C. Cowley, J. A. Guy, D. M. Henderson The survey has highlighted the complexity of range archaeology and shows how survey can illuminate this aspect of military training and warfare. The WW II practice works are an impressive monument to the effort that went into preparing assault troops for what they would face when landing on the Continent. As such, they are very potent pieces of history. The survey provides a valuable record of one element of this rapidly vanishing, and often unappreciated heritage, while the incongruity of a coastal defence on moorland at nearly 300 m above sea level adds to the interest of the site. Care should be taken when visiting the site as there is a lot of protruding iron work, rolls of barbed wire and other traps for the unwary. Information about this or other military sites would be welcomed by both the National Monuments Record of Scotland (NMRS, RCAHMS, 16, Bernard Terrace, Edinburgh, EH8 9NX) and the Scots at War (The Institute for Advanced Studies in The Humanities, The University of Edinburgh, 2 Hope Park Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9NW). Acknowledgements David Easton and Geoffrey Stell provided valuable assistance in the field and together with Roger Thomas commented on earlier drafts of this paper. Particular thanks to Strat Halliday for editing the final draft. Rob Shaw undertook the survey and produced Figure 2. Illustrations are Crown Copyright – RCAHMS. References Lowry, B.

The WW II works are relatively sharp and vegetation has not yet regenerated across features such as the track to the west of the public road, the anti-tank ditch and some of the trenches.
