Full Description
January 2004. Norfolk NMP.
World War Two spigot mortar emplacement and slit trenches on Kelling Heath and visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 (S1). These features would have formed part of the military training site on the heath, although they presumably served a defensive purpose as well. At TG 1043 4177 is a spigot mortar emplacement, sitting within a circular trench. To the east of this are two linear arrangements of small slit trenches or weapons pits, 1.5-3m long.
S. Massey (NMP), 8 January 2004.
