NHER 27621 (Monument record) - World War Two bomb crater

September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two bomb crater is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1 and S2), centred at TG 5188 0939. Its similar size to a second crater, NHER 27622, 245m to the southeast suggests that they may both have been the product of bombs dropped by the same plane during the same attack. The intended target was probably Great Yarmouth, although they could have been dropped opportunistically or even at random prior to an enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. More recent aerial photographs (for example (S3)) indicate that the crater has now been levelled.
