Full description
May 2004. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of three World War Two probable bomb craters are visible on aerial photographs to the immediate east of Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp (NHER 11335). The site is centred on TG 1103 4326. The circular depressions range from 3.5 to 4.5m across and have a slight encircling bank of upcast. The regularity of these features would suggest that they are bomb craters although it is possible that they are weapons pits or similar defensive features dug as part of military training exercises.
