Full Description
July 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earth-covered structure on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5232 0817. It appears to consist of two curved or parabola profiled elements erected side by side to form a rectangular block. These may be semi-sunken or surface structures. Entrances probably lay at the east and/or west end of each element (compare NHER 27445) but are difficult to make out on the consulted aerial photographs due to the shadow cast by the shelter and its covering of vegetation. More recent aerial photographs and modern maps indicate that the site has been built over since the end of the war.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 12 July 2005.
