NHER 39165 (Monument record) - Site of World War Two structures

December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Three small structures, presumed to be World War Two military features, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-3), centred at approximately TG 3300 3520. Their exact function is not clear but extensive coastal defences have been mapped in the area, such as the battery and training area to the north-west (NHER 39109) and the anti-landing trenches to the south of the site (NHER 38990). An association with this military activity, or with the post-war removal of military installations, such as the barbed wire that protected the cliff edge (NHER 39150) therefore seems likely. Alternatively, they might represent agricultural activity; a small building visible on the same photographs 150m to the south-east, which remained in use through the 1950s, seems to relate to agricultural or other post-war activity and consequently has not been mapped.
