Napoleonic practice redoubt and later practice trenches on Wagbullock Hill is a scheduled ancient monument comprising military earthworks constructed during the Napoleonic Wars period. The site consists of a practice redoubt with associated trench systems, representing the type of field fortification training undertaken by British forces in preparation for potential invasion or active campaigning. The earthworks remain visible as low banks and ditches across the hilltop, demonstrating the practical application of contemporary military engineering doctrine. Later military exercises have left additional traces of practice trenches overlying the original Napoleonic-era defences, recording the site's continued use for military training throughout the nineteenth century.
