Map

May 2002. Norfolk NMP.
A circular raised feature can be seen on 1946 RAF (S1) and 1972 OS (S2) aerial photographs. It is located at TF7418 4015 (centre point). It has a diameter of ca. 30m.
It’s date and origin are unknown. It has a strange appearance, because it does appear to be very circular which could imply a more modern date? (There was an airfield located a fairly short distance to the east, could this relate somehow to that?)
