Full Description
February 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A possible structure is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1944 and 1945 (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 5021 1877. Given its date and location, it was probably a military structure of some kind, perhaps part of the anti invasion defences sited along the stretch of coastline. It appears to have been roughly circular in plan. No trace of it is visible on later aerial photographs of the site, e.g. (S3). It should be noted that, due to a lack of adequate control points, rectification of photographs for this site was poor and that consequently its location should be regarded as approximate.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 1 February 2006.
