Summary

A site of unknown archaeological significance is visible on aerial photographs alongside the River Yare at Trowse. Along the eastern side of the River at this point is a linear strip of what appears to be newly made up ground or possibly even a top levelled bank, although this is not certain and it is possible that it relates to dredging of the river or reed/vegetation cutting. The archaeological significance of this feature is extremely uncertain and it has been recorded solely due to the fact that it appears date to spring 1942 and therefore may relate to military activity.
