Full Description
March 2004, Norfolk NMP
A World War Two barbed wire enclosure surrounding a defensive position, possibly a gun emplacement or pillbox, visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1941 (S1) to the immediate west of Weybourne Camp (NHER 11335). The site is centred on TG 0933 4348. The enclosure is roughly oblong in shape and approximately 135m by 90m. The two sides straddle a field boundary. Along the line of which are several possible defensive structures. A roughly square structure is visible at TG 0933 4348 measuring 5m. It seems likely that this is a pillbox or similar gun position. Two other small structures are visible within the boundary, although very little of them can be discerned on the photographs. The eastern feature appears to be a small square structure, 2.5m across. None of these features are still visible by 1946.
