Summary

A possible World War Two military structure with a blast wall is visible on aerial photographs to the north of the river Yare. The presence of possible practice or slit trenches visible 150m to the northwest (NHER 52120) makes a military function for the structure seem probable, although it may have served as an air raid shelter for surrounding possible industrial structures.
