Full Description
January 2007. Norfolk NMP.
Banks and linear bands of disturbed ground are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 (S1)-(S2), between TG 3476 2566 and TG 3449 2513. These lie along the sides of the North Walsham to Dilham canal (NHER 13534) and a nearby drain. They are almost certainly related to the deepening of the canal for use as an anti tank ditch during World War Two, as noted in (S3). This is the southernmost of at least six sections where this is visible. There is no evidence on later aerial photographs that any traces still survive on the ground.
