Full Description
July 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small circular pit, almost entirely surrounded by a bank, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1), and possibly also on aerial photographs (such as S2). The feature is undated, but is likely to be modern, and could feasibly be a Second World War gun emplacement or weapons pit. There is, however, no supporting evidence for this suggestion, and no obvious signs of military activity in the immediate vicinity.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 20 July 2017.
