Full Description
August 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The features appear to be a line (TF 6516 3240 to TF 6524 3201) of 7 square to rectangular concrete settings, set into the ground (S1). The features have an average approximate dimension of 6m X 4.5m. The features are visible in December 1944 (S1) but appear to have been removed by June 1945, leaving depressions surrounded by spoil. At the southern end there is a group of eight elongated rectangular buildings which are also likely to be military structures, although there is a slim risk they are agricultural. It seems likely that they are storehouses or accommodation blocks associated with the other defensive structures in the area.
M. Brennand (NMP), 22 August 2002.
