Full Description
January 2007. Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey.
Sheringham Wood Site 16:
A small depression measuring 5m by 2m and 0.5m deep was identified during a rapid earthwork survey of Sheringham Wood. A spoil mound of similar proportions was also located to the north of the site. The trench provides a good view to the north, and as such may have been a military trench connected with the World War Two activity in Oak Wood to the north (NHER 38264). Alternatively, the depression may be an undeveloped extraction pit.
