Full Description
October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
World War two military structure visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs. The structure appears to consist of two opposing banks, constructed in the shape of a ‘hump-back’ bridge. The structure measures 12m by 8.5m and the banks are approximately 1.5m thick. The central enclosed area is a oval, measuring 5m by 5.5m. These banks are extremely low, with the area in the centre being slightly sunken and dug in. There also appears to be a slight ditch dug around the exterior of the banks. This structure looks slightly different to the other gun emplacements on the heath (i.e. NHER 19389-19394), although it is likely that it is another example of a gun emplacement.
S. Massey (NMP), 15 April 2003.
