MUU Posted 7 November , 2023 Share Posted 7 November , 2023 (edited) Long time, no visit! I was out on the mountains near Bryncir, north Wales this lunchtime. On the way back, I spotted an iron target that was clearly part of a rifle range. 100 yard firing positions are evident downslope and the 1937-61 1:25000 maps depict it as a range. The farmer believed it to be WW1 and I suppose it looks like it may be. There is no entry in the official records. I would be grateful if someone could please take a look and give their view of the likely date (references to other similar examples would be useful to support those views) and the specific purpose of the inscribed lines. Also, were they specifically made to be targets, or repurposed? I'd be happy to acknowledge the name(s) of provider(s) of information when it goes into the official record alongside the photos. Thanks! Edited 7 November , 2023 by MUU Added info on mapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
