August 2025. Northwest Norfolk Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
The above feature was not visible on the sources consulted as part of this project. It is likely that this record has been erroneously created and likely relates to the probable Second World War searchlight emplacements recorded as part of NHER 32406, approximately 490m to the west.
