NHER 64183 (Monument record) - Site of probable Second World War barbed wire obstruction

May 2020. National Mapping Programme (NMP) Data Clean-Up.
This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the Norfolk Coastal Zone NMP project, but not recorded. This record was written more than 10 years later, without access to the original sources, and therefore the information that can be included is limited, and the interpretation is more tentative than it might be otherwise.
A probable Second World War barbed wire obstruction, or similar obstacle, was identified on aerial photographs. The specific photographs used to map the feature are not known, but a thin line – presumably some type of structure – is visible at this location on mid-1940s aerial photographs viewable online (S1). If this interpretation is correct, the obstruction would have formed part of the Second World War defences along this stretch of coast. The current condition of the site is not known but it could not be identified on the available Google Earth imagery (ranging in date from 2009 to 1999) and may have been removed.
