Full Description

A temporary structure of World War II date is visible on aerial photographs of 1942, located on Boyton marshes at circa TM38674647 (S1). The function of this structure is unknown, and as it has been removed by 1943 it is unlikely to be agricultural in origin and may have been an early accommodation or storage structure associated with the possible Light Anti-aircraft artillery site to the north east (see BOY 047) (S2).
