Map

April 2002. Norfolk NMP.
A possible group of World War Two structures are visible on aerial photographs (S1) along the coast at Heacham. These are located to the south a World War Two minefield (NHER 26615). These structures are both square and rectangular and vary in size from 2m² to 5m². The area is now covered with modern beach huts and small chalets. It is possible that these are early huts on the site. However due to the proximity of other World War Two coastal defences, these may also be military structures.
