NHER 27581 (Monument record) - World War Two bomb craters

August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A line of four World War Two bomb craters is visible as earthworks and/or vegetation marks on aerial photographs (S1), between TG 5069 0662 and TG 5064 0655. Their linear arrangement, even spacing and relatively similar size suggests that they were created during a single raid. The intended target may have been Great Yarmouth, or the bombs may have been jettisoned more or less at random prior to the enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. The craters are not visible on modern aerial photographs, e.g. (S2), and appear to have been levelled.
