Full Description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 13).
Context 128:
A scatter of reinforced concrete fragments was found partly buried in beach shingle. The material probably came from a Second World War building. May be part of NHER 24264 or NHER 11335.
Context 200:
Two metal scaffold poles were embedded in the subsoil in the low cliff face between TG 10227 43822 and TG 10259 43815. They would have been part of Second World War defences. A number of associated features may also have been present, although they may have been natural in origin.
Context 201:
A scatter of reinforced concrete fragments and sections of brick wall were found on the cliff face and top. Between TG 10142 43848 and TG 10209 43826, they were remains of a Second World War structure. May be part of NHER 24264 or NHER 32500.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
