Full description
Positioning may not be exact; very difficult to locate on ground. On south edge of coastal path.
Mortar spigot, intact, set in pit with earth bank around. Unusually has a rusty pintle, like a few others in Norfolk.
E. Rose (NLA), 22 October 2003.
[1] locates this spigot mortar at TG 00041 44273 rather than TG 00021 44244 as previously mapped. The concrete plinth is sound but the spigot is rusty.
