Dig Hill 80 – The final push to record a WW1 Battlefield site
 

In 2015, a team of archaeologists uncovered a WW1 German strongpoint at a ridge summit called “Hill 80” near the village of Wijtschate in Belgium.

The discovery revealed a trench fortress, virtually untouched since the conclusion of the Great War that also incorporated the adjacent farm buildings to create a formidable redoubt.
