NHER 27620 (Monument record) - World War Two bomb craters

September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Eight World War Two bomb craters are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1 to S3), centred at TG 5139 0943. They are all of a similar size and might be the product of a single attack, although they lack the linear arrangement evident at other such sites where this is the case (for example, NHER 27617). The intended target might have been Great Yarmouth, or the bombs could have been dropped, more or less at random, prior to an enemy plane making its return flight across the North Sea. Recent aerial photographs (for example, (S4)) indicate that the craters have now been levelled.
