From the Oct. 13, 2009, BBC News.
A second set of trenches ij Britain dating to World War I have been investigated by experts. The line has three trenches and is about two miles from others that were found last year in a field in Ross-Shire which had never been plowed.
The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments investigated around Invergordon, a key port for the Royal Navy in World War I.
These trenches may have been dug by territorial units, regular soldiers or marines based in the area. They were intended as use as training trenches and had become almost completely filled in by gravel.
I would imagine these were the same as could be found in France and served to show troops how to build them and how to fight in them.
