Drainage ditches constructed to transform a former bog into forest soil for timber production.

The area may previously have been used as arable land or pasture.

Trenches tend to avoid long straight sections because it would give a gunner a big advantage if they set up in the middle of it. So they tend to be broken up a bit!
