Full Description

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A possible World War Two military site is visible as a group of structures on 1940s aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 2158 0668. A large hut, several possible tents and a possible vehicle or gun emplacement may be visible. However, only the main hut is definitely visible on anything other than the June 1942 aerial photographs (S2), and the remainder could instead be agricultural features such as haystacks.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 18 June 2010.
