Full Description
November 2009. Norfolk NMP.
A large group of military buildings associated with Stoke Holy Cross radar station (NHER 14227) is visible on aerial photographs within Forty Acre Plantation to the north of Long Road, Framingham Earl (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 2691 0278. It seems likely that these represent accommodation and operational buildings for the radar station to the west (NHER 14227). A smaller camp (NHER 52469) is located approximately 1km to the southwest within Long Plantation.
The site consists of a variety of military buildings and huts, including two sets of T-shaped arrangements of buildings flanked by rectangular huts to either side. A range of smaller and possibly more temporary buildings and structures were visible around the edge of the site, but could not be clearly distinguished due to tree cover. Only the main and clearly visible structures were included within the mapping.
