Full Description
April 1994. Norfolk Defensive Structures Survey. Survey No. Q3-10.
Location of a World War Two spigot mortar emplacement which once covered Nuns' Bridges.
No remains could be identified during the survey. The structure has therefore possibly been demolished.
See (S1) for further details.

It is possible that the reported location of this spigot mortar emplacement was inaccurate. It should be noted that an extant spigot mortar emplacement has now been confirmed to lie approximately 125m to the north-west (NHER 67112), which much better fits the description of 'covering Nuns' Bridges'. This is one three extant spigot mortar emplacements in the vicinity of Nuns' Bridges - all of which lie in much closer proximity to the Nuns' Bridge Road (the others being NHERs 67110 and 67111).
