NHER 54626 (Monument record) - A World War Two temporary camp site

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A World War Two temporary camp site is visible on aerial photographs to the north-east of Mulbarton Common, Mulbarton. The site consists of two possible Nissen hut structures at the southern end of the field, together with at least three rows of disturbed patches around three sides of the field. These patches are likely to relate to the marks left by a temporary tented camp, and due to its proximity to Mulbarton Common, which clearly served some military purpose during World War Two (NHER 54627), the features visible here have been recorded.
