Full Description
Type 22 pill box in builder's yard.
See (S1) and (S2).
D. Gurney (NLA) October 1996.
May 2005. Norfolk NMP.
NMP mapping has led to the alteration of the central grid reference of the site from TG 5196 0789 to TG 5196 0786.
The type 22 pillbox described above is visible as an extant structure on aerial photographs (S3) and (S4), the earliest of which date to March 1944. A probable spigot mortar emplacement (NHER 27357) 90m to the north is likely to have been a contemporary feature.

Site visit. Pillbox still extant and appears to be in good overall condition with some brick shuttering still in place.
