Full Description
December 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The site of a former possible World War Two military building or structure and a trench (S1). The site is centred on TG 2661 0307. A series of parchmarks and lines of disturbance within the grass are visible, which could feasibly relate to a former structure or structures that have been removed within the relatively recent past. An elongated rectangular pit or trench is visible, with slight banks of upcast material either side. It is feasible that all of these features relate to activity and/or temporary structures relating to military activity during World War Two, although an agricultural origin for both components of the site cannot be rule out.
