Full Description
March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks described below were previously recorded as part of NHER 11652 and 13178.
Four pits are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S4), between TG 4871 1813 and TG 4855 1815. Their linear arrangement and the rather ragged ‘halo’ around each pit on some of the photographs suggests that they are probably bomb craters, almost certainly of World War Two date, although an origin in World War One is possible. Some of the craters are first visible on 1940s aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), by which time they had already been levelled.
