NHER 53629 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - World War Two weapon pits

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The site of probable World War Two weapon pits is visible on aerial photographs to the south of Brick kiln Clump, Honingham (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 1237 1209 and consists of small clusters of pits on an area of rough ground, which are part of a landscape of wider military sites and training areas. The site is located within close proximity to a World War Two searchlight battery (NHER 53408) and a larger group of military training features within Blackbreck Plantation (NHER 50618).

The above probable Second World War weapons pits were not clearly identifiable on the relatively recent (2021) visualised lidar data (S3). Low earthworks pits, mounds and banks are visible across the area, but it is uncertain from the lidar data alone as to whether these features are archaeological in origin or relate to modern features. It is therefore possible that some of the weapon’s pits could survive as very low earthworks.
