December 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The World War Two Type 22 pillbox described above is probably visible as an earth-covered structure on 1940s aerial photographs (S2)-(S3), centred at TG 2966 1681. Although the features mapped by the NMP are very likely to represent the site, they are not particularly clear (the structure itself not being visible at all), and there are some discrepancies in the locations given by earlier records (including NMR TG 21 NE 40). The pillbox appears to have had a slit trench or similar feature leading up to it from the west, as well as some form of earthen or earth-covered protection – perhaps blast walls – on its northwest side.
