Full Description
November 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Pits, a slit trench and a possible gun emplacement are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2585 3997. They all appear to be relatively fresh earthworks in 1942, suggesting that they were recently constructed, although the slit trench looks more overgrown that the other features. The possible emplacement is visible only as a slight bank and is rather dubious as an archaeological feature. A number of pits are visible in the same area on later aerial photographs (S2), but the earthworks appear too fresh to be World War Two features and consequently they have not been mapped.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 11 November 2004.
