NHER 27624 (Monument record) - World War Two bomb craters

September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Four World War Two bomb craters are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1 to S2), centred at TG 5220 0937. They are all of a similar size but it is not clear whether they are the product of one plane carrying out a single attack or the result of several bombing raids. The intended target was probably Great Yarmouth, although the bombs could have been dropped opportunistically or even at random prior to the enemy aircraft making their return flight across the North Sea. Recent aerial photographs (for example (S3)) indicate that the craters have now been levelled.
