Full Description
April 2007. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of World War Two anti-aircraft landing trenches are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 4248 0387. A grid pattern of linear cropmarks are visible on 1944 RAF aerial photographs. It is likely that these relate to anti-aircraft landing trenches which at the time had only recently been filled in and returned to cultivation. Further trenches are present to the north in Freethorpe parish (NHER 49357).
J. Albone (NMP), 20 April 2007.
These cropmarks may relate to the obstruction of a potential landing ground associated with the so-called 'red barns' (NHER 60582, NHER 60583 and NHER 60584) built by the East Anglian Property Company in 1936-7.
See (S2) for further information.
