NHER 64187 (Monument record) - Area of Second World War cleared or disturbed ground

May 2020. National Mapping Programme (NMP) Data Clean-Up.
This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the Norfolk Coastal Zone NMP project, but not recorded. This record was written more than 10 years later, without access to the original sources, and therefore the information that can be included is limited, and the interpretation is more tentative than it might be otherwise.
An area of cleared and/or disturbed ground, almost certainly related to Second World War military activity, was identified on aerial photographs. The photographs used to map the site are not known, but it is visible on mid-1940s aerial photographs available to view online (S1). It is part of the large group of Second World War defences and training features on Kelling Heath; a number of Second World War military structures (NHER 38388 and 38389) are sited within it. Recent aerial photographs (S2) show that the area is now largely tree covered.
