NHER 39146 (Monument record) - Site of possible World War Two pillbox

December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A possible pillbox is visible as a structure on aerial photographs (S1), at approximately TG 2985 3792. It can be seen as a small, rectangular or square structure at the base of the cliff. Although its identification as a World War Two pillbox is not certain, given the extensive coastal defences that have been recorded in the surrounding area this seems the most likely interpretation. The original location of the feature is unknown, as no structures of this type are visible in the immediate vicinity on wartime and immediately post-war photographs. It could, however, have been hidden by being dug into the cliff on which it stood. The fate of the pillbox after 1952 is not known but it may have been removed or buried when the access track to its south was cut in the 1950s. It should be noted that its location is approximate as it was mapped from a part of the photograph which could not be rectified.
