Full Description
August 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A probable World War Two bomb crater is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1 to S2), centred at TG 5085 0899. The untidy appearance of the crater, with a ‘halo’ of disturbed ground surrounding it, suggests that it was created by a bomb rather than being a modern pond, although it may have been put to use as the latter. The intended target may have been the railway line (NHER 13571) 115m to its south. More recent aerial photographs (for example (S3)) indicate that the crater has since been levelled.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 31 August 2005.
