A World War Two roadblock, consisting of three anti-tank cubes, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). The blocks were originally located in the centre of the road/track, centred on TG 5098 0053. This roadblock is located at the inland end of a extensive strip of World War Two defences, which consists of a long distance anti-tank ditch, barbed wire obstruction, roadblocks, pillboxes and gun emplacements, see NHER 42262 for details. Some of the other structure also still survive and have been recorded by the Norfolk Defensive Structures Survey, see NHER 42522 to 42530.
