NHER 45065 (Monument record) - Site of possible World War Two defence for Ludham airfield

A small patch of compacted or disturbed ground visible on 1940s aerial photographs, which was perhaps once occupied by a concrete pad, may mark the site of an outer defence for the World War Two airfield approximately 300m to its northwest (Ludham Airfield, NHER 8456). The airfield was surrounded by a ring of such defences, including a pillbox located 440m to the west (NHER 14970) and probable gun emplacements to the north and southwest (e.g. NHER 45048). The interpretation of the site described here, however, is far from certain, and it could merely represent agricultural activity. No trace of it is visible on more recent aerial photographs of the area.
