Full Description
August 2007. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks relating to a possible World War Two military training site are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). A group of earthworks comprising seven linear banks, ranging from 12m to 37m in length were present in parkland to the south of Bittering Hall. Also present was a line of eleven earthwork mounds, each with a diameter of approximately 2m, that extended for 50m. Most of these features appear to have been present by March 1942 (S1) and were still present in 1946 (S2-S3). Their function is unclear but it is possible that they were used for some form of military training in the early part of World War Two.
