Contemporary records state, “Spigot mortar position and communicating trench. Boxted Hall, W. bank of arable field N. of Boxted Hall. Map ref. 443515”. (Mil.Ed.) <1>

It appears most likely that this spigot mortar emplacement was sited to cover an approach up the steep incline of Burnt Dick Hill. On the ground, there is a bank running at right-angles to the road overlooking the steepest part of the hill. This is immediately to the W of Burnt Dick Hill Cottages – now one residence – and forms the boundary of the property beneath thick hedging. No further locational evidence has been found and the NGR above is that of the bank noted.
