Full Description
February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The earthworks of an embanked sub-rectangular pit are visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S1). The earthworks could relate to a post-medieval and/or modern flint mining shaft or a Second World War emplacement. The fact that it is not within a group of other mine working could suggest the military interpretation is more likely.
S. Horlock (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 24 February 2017.
