Full Description
November 2018. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
An undated mound with a hollow in the centre is seen as an earthwork on the 1940s aerial photographs (S1). The mound is not visible on recent air photos or lidar data which may suggest that the mound has been levelled. This feature could be a Second World War spigot mortar which may relate to a similar undated mound (NHER 62603) to the northwest and may also relate to the Second World War activity at Didlington Hall (NHER 63067). Furthermore to the northeast of the mound there is a possible structure (NHER 62605) under the tree canopy which again may relate to the possible spigot mortar.
