A small group of World War Two military structures, mainly nissen huts, and a possible gun emplacement or pillbox, are visible on aerial photographs to south of Elderbush Lane, Catfield (S2). The site is centred on TG 3888 2036.
One of the remaining structures has been interpreted as an air raid shelter. The group of structures in 1946 has the appearance of an ancillary part of the military accommodation camp for Ludham airfield (NHER 49336), located to the immediate south. It is possible that the air raid shelter marked on the map (S1) is a sunken or camouflaged structure not visible in 1946. At the western end of the group is a polygonal structure, 6m across, which has the appearance of being a gun emplacement or pillbox, although this is not certain.
S. Massey (NMP), 30 March 2007.
