Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A line of barbed wire is visible as an extant structure on aerial photographs (S1-2), from TG 3269 3548 to TG 3322 3502. It forms part of the extensive network of coastal defences along this stretch of coast, which was heavily defended during World War Two. It is still visible on aerial photographs taken in 1943 (S3). It was partially removed by April 1946 and was removed entirely later that year, when its former presence is still shown by a vegetation mark (S4-5).
(S1-5)
