Full Description
November 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Two World War Two structures, linked by a concrete track, likely to be a Direction Finding Station and probably related to Snetterton airfield NHER 9068 are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3) to the west of South Farm, Quidenham.
The largest of the structures, which may in fact represent some form of compound,surrounded by a possible blast wall, is centred on TM 0149 9097 and measures approximately 10m by 10m. It is linked to the road and a smaller (8m by 5m) structure by a concrete trackway. The smaller structure and parchmarks of the trackway and larger structure are visible as late as 1960 (S4).
