Full Description
April 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A possible World War Two defensive structure may be visible on aerial photographs in the dunes to the north of what is now the Sea Breeze campsite, Eccles-on-Sea (S1). It is possible that this is a gun emplacement or pillbox. This structure may form part of a chain of coastal defences and pillboxes all along this section of coast, such as NHER 25958-60, 32466.
The structure is located at TG 4211 2822 and is visible as an indistinct and roughly square raised area, approximately 4m across and with a quite well defined shadow, located next to the path. It is possible that this is a camouflaged gun emplacement or pillbox.
