Summary
A crescent shaped earthwork, perhaps formed around a structure and visible on aerial photographs dating to 1946, may be associated with Training Aid 10H, as depicted on a U.S. Army plan of the Second World War Assault Training Centre on Braunton Burrows. It was probably demolished or obscured by shifting sand dunes in the years following the war.

A crescent shaped earthwork, approximately 2.5 metres wide and with a maximum length of 10 metres, is visible on aerial photographs dating to 1946. It corresponds with Training Aid 10H, as depicted on a U.S. Army plan of the Second World War Assault Training Centre on Braunton Burrows, and it is possible that there are structural remains within the mound. The earthwork is not readily identifiable on any later aerial photographs available to the survey and was probably demolished or obscured by shifting sand dunes in the years following the war.
