NHER 32590 (Monument record) - World War Two underground bunker

Underground bunker. Approximately 2.5m long, 1m wide, 1.5m high. Most of the interior is sunken below ground, but the hipped corrugated iron roof rises c. 0.5m above ground level, resembling a roofed slit trench. The structure was well constructed. There was blue plastic sheeting below the roof but this also occurs on the underground
headquarters at Thorpe Abbotts airfield. The interior wooden panelling however resembled a more recent insertion. There seems to be no reason for a post-war construction of such a feature and it may be of similar origin to the Auxiliary Forces hide at Mautby (NHER 28935). Having been used by children as a den, this feature was destroyed in March 1997.

Local people say that the woods were used for training by the Territorial Army and so the feature may have this origin.
