trench

I don't have time to research this, but instinctively (and based on your photo) I want to call this a trench because it's for a person, whereas an artillery pit would be for the entire unit: the gun(s) and all the operators and support people; or else little pits for ammo and other stuff. I realize you said that you're already translating окоп as trench, but AFAIK окоп can be either trench or foxhole. And there's also ячейка and sometimes (одиночная) щель for foxhole. Also upon first thought, I don't see a problem with using "trench" for both окоп and ровик.
Note from asker:
Good variation. Will consider Rachel. In essence it is a trench but a very small one.... maybe closer to a foxhole(one man individual fighting position), an extension really of an individual IFP going off to the side.

Использовать laterene когда речь не о них, был бы весьма оригинальный ход )))
