Five Napoleonic practice redoubts is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a series of defensive earthwork fortifications located in Crowthorne Woods and Bramshill Forest in Berkshire, England. These structures date from the Napoleonic Wars period, specifically the early nineteenth century, when they served as training installations for military engineers and infantry. The redoubts survive as distinct earthen ramparts and ditches arranged across the forested landscape, representing practical examples of temporary field fortification design employed during the Napoleonic era. Their preservation within the woodland setting provides archaeological evidence of British military preparation and training practices during this significant period of European conflict.
