Full Description
April 2008. Field visit.
Circular pit, about 4m in diameter. Probably about 1m deep, but difficult to say for certain as soil has recently been bulldozed into it. It could be a quarry pit or a bomb crater.

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The description of this feature is consistent with the shell craters associated with a World War Two tank training area (NHER 53659) located on Ringland Hills. Although no actual crater can clearly be distinguished at this location on the aerial photographs, unless it has already become overgrown with vegetation by 1945 (S1). The location of this site does however broadly coincide with location of an earlier quarry pit, approximately 14m across, which has been incorporated into the tank training area.
S. Horlock (NMP), 16 June 2010.
