Full Description
April 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A tall, possibly circular structure is visible on aerial photograph of the beach at Eccles-on-Sea in 1946. The site is centred on TG 4092 2914 and the structure measures approximately 2m across. It is possible that this feature formed part of the World War Two defensive structures on the beach and coast in this area. Although this is not certain as the structure cannot be identified on the earlier aerial photographs available for the area (1940), although it may have been constructed later in the war. There are other possible military structures in close vicinity (NHER 27326, 27328).
