The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A possible Second World War fenced area is seen as a structure on aerial photographs. The possible fenced feature is not visible by July 1946 and is presumed to have been removed. The fenced area may have been used for training, storage, or for surrounding emplacements. The feature is similar to other possible fenced areas (NHER 63043 & NHER 63044) to the east at High Ash Military camp (NHER 34704) and most likely also relates to the military activity at Didliligton hall in close proximity (NHER 63067).
