Debenham, Sir Robert Hitcham Primary School, School Corner, evaluation trenching for a planned community swimming pool within the school grounds revealed two entrances to either a single air raid shelter of World War II date or a pair of shelters. Local residents recalled air raid shelters in this area though their exact location had been lost. In an area with a substantial depth of top and subsoil close to tributary stream of the River Deben called The Gulls no earlier archaeological finds or features were recorded (S1).
