Full Description
January 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Evidence of possible Second World War military training activity is visible, in the form of groups of pits, as earthworks on aerial photographs in 1945 (S1) and 1946 (S2). The features have been mapped only by extent. The interpretation of the features is uncertain as they are not clearly visible. They have not been identified on more recent imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S3), so whether they still survive as earthworks is not known.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 19 January 2017.
