Background Information
1.1 Introduction
This Heritage Statement has been commissioned by Norfolk County Council Childrens Services to inform the project to build an ASD Modular Accommodation and New Science Extension, and to support the Planning Application.
The Heritage Statement has been prepared in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and Guidance (NPPG), Conservation Principles and the Policy and Guidance for the Sustainable Management of the Historic Environment (English Heritage 2008).
Objectives: To carry out an assessment of the heritage significance To understand what the impact of the works will be To provide a strategy of mitigation to reduce the impact of the project
1.2 The Site Aerial View of School The site is in the village of Sidestrand to the South of Cromer and is presently part of the Sidestrand Hall School. The site is to the Northern end of the village, with the boundary of cliffs running down to the North sea to the North East and Cromer Road to the South West. The site is heavily wooded, with open fields to the North West and South East. The original Hall sits towards the North West of the site with the later school buildings to the middle and south.
The site has been developed over the period having gone through a variety of uses, in 1886 the Hall was owned by Samuel Hoare who was an MP in Norwich in 1886, it has also been used as a Methodist holiday home before it became a special needs school in 1950.
Half the site is included within the Sidestrand Conservation Area map but neither of the two interventions proposed are within the conservation area.

2 Summary Sidestrand Hall Special School
2.0 Summary of the Works An ecological survey has been undertaken and the report found that with minimal mitigation measures no significant impacts on protected species would be expected. 2.1 Executive Summary
The proposal is to provide:
1. A class base in the form of an ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) modular accommodation to the East of the site. 2. A Science class base as an extension of the later school buildings.
The proposals are set out in the Planning application. This Heritage Statement should be read in conjunction with the information in the Planning Application.
2.2 Summary of the Works
Taken from the Design and Access Statement
The New Buildings
The ASD modular accommodation building consists one class base, three group rooms, a store, a Cleaner’s store, a DDA compliant W.C, a standard W.C, and lobby/cloak area. The new Science Class base consists of one class base, a prep room, two standard W.C’s and a lobby.
Appearance
The proposed modular accommodation building will be Plastisol coated steel in grey with areas of cedar timber cladding, a shallow pitched Polymeric single ply membrane roof covering. The windows will be double glazed. The proposed Science class base extension will be traditional construction with a red facing brick and pitched pantile roof covering, the link with the existing building will have a flat roof with a bituminious felt covering. The doors and windows will be a grey (RAL 7015) aluminium doubled glazed sealed units.
Layout
Following consideration of all potential locations on the site and consultation with the School the proposed locations support the specialist requirements of the School.
Landscape
An arboriculturist has surveyed the site and has indicated that one tree of limited value is to be removed to the south of the proposed ASD modular accommodation. The report also stipulates that a watching brief is undertaken during the excavations for services in the vicinity of ASD modular building and for the new soakaway for the Science class base extension.

3.0 Assessment of Heritage Significance
Over time our attitude towards such assets has evolved and sensitised, this has been aided by such groups 3.1 Significance of the Site as the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Venice Charter, the Burra Charter together with the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage. This section sets out what is important about the heritage and to whom it is important; it identifies that there are different ways of recognising this importance to a wide audience. In an attempt to make the processes It would also be appropriate to recognise that the site will evolve and change however, in this process it is considered and rational this process has been carried out under four evaluation heads. important to understand the need to manage that change process. 1. Evidential - the potential of a physical place to provide evidence 2. Historical - events and aspects of life connected to a place 3.3 Archaeology 3. Aesthetic - the ways in which people draw sensory and intellectual simulation from a place 4. Communal Value - the meaning of the place to people. It is not anticipated that there is any archaeological significance attached to the subject area. Over time the nature and attributes of a site change, both increasing and diminishing; this can give a rich texture to the site, which can be both physical but also by association it has evolved over the period. It is important to understand these various values and how they operate to any particular place. 3.4 Ways of Looking at Significance
3.2 HER Records Since the 1930’s there have been various charters and movements rationalising our attitude towards conservation and heritage assets. A wider attitude is now taken towards the exercise of conservation and the Half the site falls within the Conservation Area of Sidestrand, however neither of the proposed interventions processes of understanding what is significant and how it should be valued. The English Heritage document sit within the Conservation area “Conservation Principles Policies and Guidance”, together with the Heritage Lottery Fund’s - “Conservation Plan Guidance” offer guidance on significance. There are two new interventions on the site, one the modular building to the East and secondly the extension forming the new science class base. 3.5 Conservation Area Statement The Environment Record indicates two monuments : Half the site is inside the Conservation Area with the two areas of intervention outside it. Presently there is no 58861 - World War Two hangar, brick and corrugated iron walls with a steel girder and corrugated iron Conservation Area Appraisal available. roof. This was built by the American military for use as a Sports Hall. It is now used by Sidestrand Hall School as a car park and store. Information from (S1). Cattermole (HES), 11 June 2013. 58975 - Pits, a slit trench and a possible gun emplacement are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2585 3997. They all appear to be relatively fresh earthworks in 1942, suggesting that they were recently constructed, although the slit trench looks more overgrown that the other features. The possible emplacement is visible only as a slight bank and is rather dubious as an archaeological feature. A number of pits are visible in the same area on later aerial photographs (S2), but the earthworks appear too fresh to be World War Two features and consequently they have not been mapped. S. Tremlett (NMP), 11 November 2004
The hanger is outside the Conservation Area, and is to the South West of the modular accommodation. With regard to the pits and slit trenches, these are in the Woods on the Western side of the site, and remote from any of the works.

3.6 Nearby Buildings
The nearby buildings that define the area are the Hall itself which appears to date from the late 19th Century, the more modern buildings on the site dating from the middle of the 20th century to early 21st century are of little architectural merit.
There are two listed buildings adjacent to the site:
The church of St Michael - to the South East of the site on the Cromer Road, Grade II listed, flint with stone dressings, rebuilt in 1881 from elements of the church that were moved in land. Garden House - opposite the entrance to the Hall, Grade II listed, early C19 in rendered brick and pantile.

3.9 Significance the aesthetic qualities, for their association with people and memories, beliefs and events or simply because they are old…. “ The definition of significance given in NPPF is ‘the value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Defining the significance of Sidestrand Hall and the impact of the proposed Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting. When development considering the significance of the site, it is important to understand it in its widest context.

The view of the new building is screened by the woodland, the residential buildings on site and the old hanger building. There will be some closing down of the view of the sea from within the site but this would be mar- ginal. With the view from the sea of the building being largely obscured by the cliffs and the distance back from the cliffs.
Science Class base
The site is contained by the existing school buildings and planting, so should have little or no impact.

4 Assessment of Impact Sidestrand Hall Special School
4.1 Assessment of Impact and Mitigation
Conclusion to the Impact Assessment
Under NPPF there is a need to understand the level of harm that will be impacted on the scheme by these proposals.
NPPF para 133 states:
‘where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, local planning authorities should refuse consent, unless it can be demonstrated that the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss, or all of the following apply:
The nature of the heritage asset prevents all reasonable uses of the site; and No viable use of the heritage asset itself can be found in the medium term through appropriate marketing that will enable its conservation; and Conservation by grant-funding or some form of charitable or public ownership is demonstrably not possible; and The harm or loss is outweighed by the benefit of bringing the site back into use.’
NPPF para 134 states:
‘Where a development proposal will lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal, including securing its optimum viable use.’
Conclusion
Whilst part of the site is within a Conservation Area, the areas where the new buildings are proposed are not in the Conservation Area.
The Modular unit is well screened from the Conservation Area so should have little impact, and the woods to the North West of the Science base, will make it difficult to see from the Conservation Area, it is also a minor extension to an existing building.
It is considered that the impact of the ASD Modular accommodation and the Science Class base extension should be minimal on the Heritage.

Description and Sources Description Pre March 1930. Stray Find. Found on beach at Overstand by J. E. Sainty: 1 Palaeolithic "Acheulian" flint handaxe. Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1959.45). Information from (S1).
This object was exhibited at a meeting of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia on 3 March 1930 (S2). It was subsequently described and figured in (S3), in which it is recorded as having been found “..below high-water mark, and about 50 yds east of the breakwater, and 100 paces from the foot of the cliff”. It is noted that only Cromer Till and Contorted Drift deposits were exposed along this part of the coast, with the latter suggested as the most likely provenance.
This handaxe is listed in (S4) and described by Wymer (S5) as very rolled. It is also noted in (S6), (S7) and (S8), although no additional information is given.
It should be noted that the mapped extent of this record represents only the general area in which this object was probably recovered, based on the information given in (S3). Amended by P.

The is probably the same handaxe as one which was originally reported in 1927 (previously recorded as NHER 6773).
Monument Types and Dates FINDSPOT (Lower Palaeolithic to Middle Palaeolithic - 500000 BC to 40001 BC)
Description and Sources Description Pre 1927. Stray Find. The Norwich Castle Museum holds a flint handaxe from Sidestrand beach (NWHCM : 1963.17) that had originally been donated to the Ipswich Museum by A. C. Savin. Information from (S1). This is almost certainly one of the three handaxes from Sidestrand listed in (S2). It is also listed in (S3). Originally recorded as having been found in 1942, also this appears to been a misreading of a note on (S1) that is probably the original Ipswich Museum accession number.
It is highly likely that this is the same handaxe as one which had been described and figured by J. Reid Moir in 1927 (S4) and previously recorded as NHER 6774. Reid Moir reported that this implement had originally been found "…on the surface of a field upon the top of the cliffs at Sidestrand…" by W. G. Sandford. It had been acquired by A. C. Savin after Sandford's death, at a sale of his effects. The object itself is described as a Lower Palaeolithic implement "..which exhibits only one small area of cortex at the butt-end, is unrolled, [with] its flaked surfaces [carrying] neither incipient cones of percussion, nor striae, and are not patinated" (S4). This object was also noted in (S5). According to (S1) this object was still in Savin's collection in 1934.
This handaxe was subsequently described by Wymer (S6) as a typical pointed handaxe in slightly rolled condition. Although it is possible that Wymer based his description on Reid Moir's illustration he nevertheless records it as being in the Norwich Castle Museum, which would appear to confirm that it is indeed the object held by this museum. This object is also noted in (S7) and (S8), although no additional information is given.
The mapped location of this findspot appears to represent a grid reference listed in the NCM's records. The source of this information is unknown. This grid refernece clearly does not tally with the provenance reported in (S4), although it should be noted that the coastline has suffered considerable erosion in this area.

The structure no longer exists on the ground. An associated rectangular building and an earthwork platform and hollow way leading to the site are also visible on the aerial photographs.

Description and Sources Description March 1978. Visit. Windmill (Ordnance Survey). Post mill. Totally destroyed (apparently in a gale many years ago). Site seems to be under bungalows. E. Rose (NAU), 14 March 1978.
Marked on Faden's map 1797. E. Rose (NAU).
See also NHER 35580 for aerial photograph evidence of a windmill in this area. Is NHER 6802 misplaced? D Gurney (NLA), 10 October 2000.
No, NHER 6802 is not misplaced, this is the location shown on the 1953 six inch Ordnance Survey map, as stated above. It is however in the garden of number 26 Coast Road, not under the bungalows which are to the west. The windmill shown on Faden's map could be on either NHER 6802 or 35580, as this map is not accurate to that degree.
The site has been extended and therefore the centre of site has been altered from TG 2542 4020 to TG 2544 4020.
March 2004. Norfolk NMP. The site of the post-medieval windmill is visible on aerial photographs (S1-3). The NHER boundary was extended to include a rectangular building to the immediate east, which was presumably associated with the windmill and a rectangular enclosed area located on a slight terrace to the north of the knoll. A hollowed and sunken track also leads to the site from the road. As stated above the mill structure no longer visibly survives above ground. The site is centred on TG 2544 4020. This site gets incorporated into World War Two training activities (S1), see NHER 38512 for details and brief discussion of the possibility that the windmill gets converted into a pillbox, although there is no definite evidence for this happening.
The windmill, which appears to be hexagonal in shape and 6.5m across, is centred on TG 2542 4020. The rectangular structure, 10m by 5m, is located at TG 2542 4018. Both structures are visible in 1953 (S3), however by 1955 (S4) the site has been re-landscaped and developed into a house plot. The rectangular structure has definitely been removed during this work. In the 1955 aerial photographs it is hard to distinguish the actual mill structure remaining, although a partially buried feature in the correct location for the mill, may indicate that the base at least survives. In 1963 also, it is hard to distinguish the structure surviving much past ground level (S5). However after 1967 a low, but above ground, hexagonal structure is clearly visible (S6-7). This would indicate that further landscaping had been done around the mill base, exposing the structure again. The aerial photograph evidence indicates that it was destroyed some time after 1988 and by 2002 (S7-8), zMonDataProtection Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 14 HER Number 6802 - MNF6802 Site Name Site of post medieval windmill potentially by the storm event mentioned above.
Up until the re-landscaping of 1953-5 an earthwork hollow way can be seen running up towards the windmill from the road from TG 2546 4023 to TG 2542 4019. This is up to 5m wide. To the west of this is what appears a rectangular enclosed area defined by low banks and set into a slight terrace on the slope, 30m by 15m. This feature is marked on the Ordnance Survey First edition map (6", 1879-1886) (S9) and presumably relates to the workings and possibly related structures of the former corn mill site. (S1-9) S.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 6803 - MNF6803 St Michael's Church, Sidestrand Building St Michael's Chruch may appear to be a late medieval parish church, but the current building does in fact date to 1881. It is a copy, using much of the original materials, of the original parish church, the majority of which was moved earlier in the 19th century due to the advancing tides.
Most of the south porch is derived from the original, as well as a perpendicular style (1350-1539) chancel arch and a 15th century cross in the nave east wall. The tower is apparently to the original design, octagonal and embattled. Inside, there is Jacobean panelling in the chancel and pulpit, and an organ case dating to around 1800.

Description and Sources Description Antingham Road Junction to Paston and Knapton to Mundesley on Sea (siding) (This section was originally opened by the East Norfolk Railway). Trimingham (with siding) to Sidestrand (opened 1936) to Overstrand to Cromer Links (opened 1923) to Roughton Road Junction to Newstead Lane Junction to Runton West Junction.
Opened to Mundesley 1898, to Runton West Junction 1906. Cromer to Mundesley closed 1953, to North Walsham 1964.
Line now used as road, housing estate, and gas pipe trench. At Sidestrand great earthworks remain. Paston and Knapton station remains. Cutting to west is overgrown with some overbridges.
A narrow gauge construction railway was used in building this line. Roughton Road opened as passenger halt 1985.
Context 1 at 1975 4228. Tall and impressive black brick viaduct across road at East Runton between Newstead Lane and Runton West Junctions. Forms fine ensemble with lower viaduct on Midland & Great Northern Railway line (NHER 13584, context 8). This section of line is now disused and lifted, the embankment remaining, British Rail trains now running from Newstead Lane to Runton East junctions to Cromer Beach and reversing out. E. Rose (NAU) 5 May 1986.
Section of trackbed from near Swafield to Old Hall Street now used as Paston Way footpath. Section of cutting infilled, then still open to just north of Knapton; then ploughed away as far as Mundesley. Over and Under bridges mostly of black brick, both arched and straight, in ornate brickwork (the underbridges more ornate). Second bridge north of Knapton station is in yellow brick, and footbridge immediately south of station is arched steel. E. Rose (NLA) 28 August 1991
Section south of Trimingham village formerly in cutting now completely filled in and used for agriculture. Triple arched black brick bridges are buried up to their soffits. E. Rose (NLA) 9 October 1992.
At TG 1992 4170 (Runton parish) is a very fine skew underbridge of glazed red bricks. E. Rose (NLA) 15 August 1994.
For full account of line, reasons for red brick bridges and unusual signal boxes near Cromer, armoured train used in World War One etc. see (S1). Copy in file. E. Rose (NLA) 3 September 1997.
The Paston Way footpath has now been extended to North Walsham. The Old Mundesley Road overbridge at TG 2855 3150 is an exceptionally good black brick skew arch. The canal bridge at TG 2885 3185 has been removed, leaving only tall abutments which now carry a modern pipe bridge. The site of Mundesley station is now a grass field. A massive block of concrete projects from beneath the Links Road crossing; this is probably to do with the railway but might just be some sort of pillbox - if so a very large one. To the south the course is built over. zMonDataProtection Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 22 HER Number 13585 - MNF13585 Site Name Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway (Northern Section)
Another very good skew bridge, a narrow underbridge, remains near Overstrand at TG 2529 4018. The above comment of 1992 about buried bridges is still correct in 1999, including a footbridge still of black brick at TG 2812 3812. At the site of Trimingham station, now a housing estate, the attachment point for the steps down remains on the side of the road bridge. E. Rose (NLA) 28 September 1999.

Immediately west of Roughton Road station is a very fine iron bridge across the road. This was seen only in passing and needs a detailed description. E. Rose (NLA) 8 August 2002.
Norfolk NMP. September 2003. A section of dismantled track at East Runton is clearly visible on NLA 1985 aerial photographs (S3) and on Hunting Surveys Limited aerial photographs from 1969 (S4). This section runs from NGR TG 1967 4233 to TG 1988 4188 and included in this area is the bridge/viaduct NHER 13585/Context 1 (at NGR TG1975 4226 - grid reference corrected). The track itself has been lifted but the embankments and bridge survive intact. H. Clare (NMP) 11 September 2003.
January 2005. Norfolk NMP. There is no evidence on wartime aerial photographs of a pillbox sited at Mundesley Station. The block of concrete described above, therefore, is more likely to relate to the railway or station rather than a military structure. It may be the base of the multi storeyed structure which is visible against the embankment of the Links Road bridge on these photographs (for example, S5). S. Tremlett (NMP) 5 January 2005.
Principal reference is (S6) which notes in addition a gasworks siding at Runton East Junction in 1899, and that the line tunnelled beneath the main line (NHER 13586) into Cromer High Station. E. Rose (NLA) 5 July 2005.
Overstrand station remains apparently intact (seen only from distance, now in private ownership) including the glass roof of the subway that descends from the former platforms down to the road below.

This suggests a collection of objects may have been dumped here at one time.
Monument Types and Dates FINDSPOT (Roman - 43 AD to 409 AD)
Description and Sources Description October 1979. Found in garden. [1] Roman Rhineland lava quern (upper stone), roughly conical in shape. 16.5cm across, 7cm thick, millstone-like spiralling ridges on underside. Straight central hole, hole for handle. Also large lump of Herts puddingstone. However, number of fossils found in garden suggests this may be a collector's dump. Name of cottage, which is early 18th century, comes from a signalling gun that was kept here. Garden also contains an 18th or 19th century tombstone found on the beach which probably came from the old churchyard. Objects seen on site by E. Rose (NAU). E. Rose (NAU), 23 October 1979.

March 2004, Norfolk NMP The proposed site of a post mill was assessed during the NMP mapping and it was decided that the aerial photograph evidence did not uphold this interpretation. The aforementioned dark cross in the centre of the mound does not appear definite enough to indicate a wind or post mill. The only features mapped during the NMP were a series of small pits, centred on TG 2544 4006, visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1940-6 (S1-3). These pits look quite fresh in 1940 (S1) and therefore are likely to be World War Two training features, weapons pits. The area around the windmill to the immediate west (NHER 38512) also has evidence of military pit and trench excavation. However it is also possible that they are relatively modern extraction pits.

Description and Sources Description November 2004. Norfolk NMP. A group of World War Two defensive structures is visible on RAF aerial photographs situated on the cliff paths leading to the beach at Overstrand (S1-6). These include several pillboxes, gun emplacements and anti-tank and roadblocks. These structures form part of a network of defences, which protected the coast at Overstrand (NHER 38962, 38980-2).
The earliest aerial photographs where these structures are visible were taken in August 1941 (S1-2), indicated that the defences were constructed in-between August 1940 and August 1941 (S7). Two concrete cubes block the lowest path. A blocking structure is visible on the top path also, although it cannot be seen clearly on aerial photographs. At the base of the cliff path at TG 2528 4076 is a hexagonal type 22 pillbox. Immediately above this, constructed on the eastern end of the lowest path, is a square gun emplacement, 3.5m across. This has a central capping feature, with a triangular profile, projecting from the roof. It is assumed that this is a covering for a top mounted gun position. At the eastern end of the steps at TG 2532 4072 is a second pillbox, a type 20, with a blast wall to the west. In 1942 a second, possibly rectangular, structure is visible to the immediate east of this, measuring 4m by 2.5m. These two structures are visible eroding out of the cliff after the 1953 storm event (S5). At TG 2522 4077, set into the cliff to the west of the middle path, is an angular C- shaped wall, 6.5m long and 1m wide. This appears to be similar in appearance to the pair of gun emplacements situated on the cliff edge in the gardens of Overstrand Hotel (NHER 38981).
In June 1946 (S6) an additional structure is visible at the western base of the steps at TG 2524 4079, measuring 4m by 2.5m. This structure is not visible in 1942 and therefore it is possible that it is a post-war construction. All of these World War Two structures have since been dismantled or destroyed by cliff erosion.

Two World War Two pillboxes or square gun emplacements are visible on aerial photographs situated at the base of the cliff slope at Overstrand (S1-2). These structures form part of a network of defences, which protected the coast at Overstrand (NHER 38506, 38962, 38980-2).
These two structures are centred on TG 2516 4082 and are approximately 40m apart. The eastern pillbox is located at approximately TG 2518 4081.

Norfolk NMP. A multi-phase cropmark site is visible on aerial photographs to the west of Manor Farm, Sidestrand. The site consists of possible field boundaries and linear ditches of unknown date (S1-2). A possible trackway, which curves around towards Manor Farm to the east, may be medieval to post medieval in date. A World War Two searchlight battery was located in this field during the war (NHER 38967) and therefore may of these features could relate to this phase or at least have been affected by the military activity. The site is centred on TG 2553 4029.
The cropmarks of a possible trackway and curvilinear features of unknown definite date are visible on aerial photographs from 1965 (S1). The linears appear to curve around towards Manor Farm. The name ‘Manor Farm’ may indicate the location or associated with a medieval manorial site, although is not always the case. The cropmarks consist of two sets of curvilinear parallel linears, with both bank and ditch components, running from approximately TG 2548 4023 to TG 2557 4025. These linears are around 15m apart, which would be quite wide for a trackway. It must be noted that the features run towards what appears to be a large pond on the Ordnance Survey 2nd edition map (25", 1902-7) (S3). This may indicate that these cropmarks are caused by the approach and access of the pond and therefore may be much more recent and of less archaeological interest. The cropmarks only appear on one set of aerial photographs and again this may suggest that they are quite recent and ephemeral. A curvilinear ditch visible on the same photographs and enclosing the south-western corner of the field, may also not be of definite archaeological origin.
To the north of this, also in 1965, is a cropmark ditch, which appears to have possible conjoined rectilinear and perpendicular linear ditches (S1). This includes a possible square enclosed area measuring 12-13m across, centred on TG 2555 4029. A break is visible in the enclosing ditch to the south west. It is not clear whether this is due to the imcompletenes of the cropmark or the presence of an entrance, it may be a combinatin of both factors. The definite date of these features is unknown, although a Roman date is feasible given the cropmarks.
Some of the cropmarks were quite faint and could easily be confused and masked by the surrounding geological cropmarks. Therefore some caution must be applied to the archaeological origin of all these mapped features, especially as most of the features were only visible on one set of aerial photographs. An area of cropmarks to the extreme north of the field visible in 1981 (S2) were not mapped as they were suspected of being agricultural in origin. S. Massey (NMP), 17 March 2004.

Description and Sources Description March 2004, Norfolk NMP The site consists of two curvilinear earthwork ditches visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 and 1952 (S1-2) and is centred on TG 2557 3994. The smaller of the two earthworks is centred on TG 2553 3997 and is approximately 21m long. The purpose and origin of this earthwork is not known. It does not look fresh enough in 1946 to relate to any World War Two activity, so it is most likely post-medieval in date. The larger curvilinear earthwork runs from TG 2557 3994 to TG 2563 3992, 75m long, and this may be part of the post-medieval field divisions in that area. The earthwork is situated within an area of undulating land, which is presumably formed from glacial deposits. These small raised areas remain as heathy grassland and some appear to have been subdivided to a great extent, into small irregular shaped plots. It is therefore possible that this curvilinear ditch relates to a former land division. (S1-2) S. Massey (NMP), 17 March 2004. Sources (S1) Vertical Aerial Photograph: RAF. 1946.

Norfolk NMP. A group of World War Two military training features, include weapons pits and practice trenches and possible barbed wire obstructions, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-4). The site is centred on TG 2539 4018 and located around the site of a post-medieval windmill (NHER 6802). A searchlight battery is located in the field to the north in 1940 (NHER 38967).
Centred around the windmill in 1940 are signs of recent activity and possible construction and/or trench digging, visible on oblique aerial photographs (S1), although the site is too far in the background to be able to identify individual features. In 1941 the site does not look like it is currently being used for military training (S5). This may be due to the removal of the searchlight battery to the north (NHER 38967). In 1942 a series of weapons pits and short practice trenches get dug around the windmill (NHER 6802), centred on TG 2542 4019. A slit trench is also visible on either side of the hollowed track up to the mill.
The windmill base is hexagonal and at first glance would appear to be a pillbox. However it is quite large, 6.6m across and is located in the correct position for the mill. The base of the mill survives until at least the late 80’s, see NHER 6802, and therefore it is unlikely had it been converted into a pillbox that this was not recorded at a later date, although it is possible. Other Norfolk windmills are known to have had loop holes added into the structure, such as at Ludham Bridge (NHER 5236) and the Stacey Arms, Great Yarmouth (NHER 10387) (Bird, 1999:36-7) (S6).
A short stretch of zigzag trench is visible in 1943, centred on TG 2536 4024. Constructed to the north of this in-between January 1943 and 1946 (S3-4) is a pronounced oblong trench at TG 2538 4024, a similar earthwork is located to the south at TG 2532 4015. Both measure 9m by 4m and are flanked by a bank of upcast to the north. The northern example being much more pronounced. The purpose of these earthworks is not clear, although it is assumed that they relate to military training. Next to the northern earthwork at TG 2539 4025 is a possible small structure visible in 1942 against the field boundary (S2). This has been removed by 1943 (S3).
At TG 2535 4016 is a possible cluster of four small pits and trenches. There is possible evidence of digging in this area in 1940 and 1942 (S1-2), although the features cannot clearly be distinguished at these times and were mapped from 1946 aerial photographs (S4). These have been interpreted as weapons pits, although it is also possible that they may merely be extractive pits, see NHER 35580 for similar features. zMonDataProtection Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 41 HER Number 38512 - MNF43518 Site Name Site of World War Two training area
Possible traces of barbed wire may be visible on some of the aerial photographs, although it cannot be identified with any certainty (S1-3). In 1943 is meandering dark linear is visible to the south of this site, coinciding partly with a low earthwork bank (NHER 38968), thought to be a post medieval field boundary. It is possible that this was augmented with barbed wire. However on oblique aerial photographs from 1940 (S1), this line appears to mark a change in vegetation. The northern perimeter of the knoll on which the windmill sits, also looks like barbed wire may sit on top of the surrounding earthworks (see NHER 6802 for details), although again this is not certain.

Norfolk NMP. An area of possible World War Two training activity may be indicated by a spread of small earthwork weapons pits, possible stretches of barbed wire, a system of well-defined tracks and a cluster of temporary structures. The site is centred on TG 2520 4010. These features are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1940 and 1946 on an area of heath and rough grazing to the south of the railway line at Overstrand (S1-5). Another area of possible World War Two training is located to the immediate north (NHER 38512). Whilst World War Two activity appears the most likely interpretation for the majority of these features, it is also possible that some of the earthwork pits may relate to post medieval extraction.
Visible in photographs from 1940 to 1941 and centred on approximately TG 2503 4010 is a group of huts, consisting one large central structure, with smaller low rectangular structures clustering around it (S1-2). It is entirely possible that these structures are agricultural and relate to animal shelters. Although the fact that they have been removed by 1942 (S3) and may be associated with an area of military training, could indicate that they are temporary military structures.
The central area of the site is characterised by dispersed earthwork pits and practice trenches visible in photographs from 1942 to 1946 (S3-5). The entire spread is centred on TG 2519 4013, although the main cluster of pits mapped is centred around TG 2519 4004. Some of these pits are quite large, up to three metres across. It is possible that some of these are extraction pits of a post-medieval date. However the earthworks appear reasonable recent and therefore may be modern and World War Two in origin, possibly representing weapons pits or something military training features. At TG 2510 4008 is another cluster of pits visible in 1942 (S3). These were defined by an extent of area on the NMP map. The largest of these features consists of a five metres across oval pit, which may have a stone or concrete central component. It is possible that this is a spigot mortar emplacement associated with the military presence on the heath, although it may also be related to extraction. zMonDataProtection Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 43 HER Number 38520 - MNF43573 Site Name World War Two tracks, small pits and temporary structures
Another possible area of pits is visible centred on TG 2518 4016 and covering an area of approximately 150m by 35m (S5). These features are defined by an extent of area on the NMP map as the individual earthworks are not especially clear. These appear more overgrown than the other pits. The fact that these are covered by vegetation would suggest that they are earlier, although it is not clear whether this is earlier in the World War Two sequence or whether they are post medieval in date.
A small number of pits are also visible alongside the railway line. It is possible that these are related in some way to the construction of the railway and therefore may be post medieval in date.
In 1943 a possible area of barbed wire is visible centred on TG 2534 4001 (S4). This identification of this meandering linear feature as barbed wire is not entirely certain due to the poor quality of the aerial photograph. Similar features were recorded to the immediate north in NHER 38512. Between June 1942 and 1946 (S3-5) a system of wide tracks traverse this area of rough ground, these would appear to relate to some sort of World War Two training, however they are not conclusively military and therefore may just represent repeated modern vehicle access across the site.

They were created prior to 4th January 1943 as they are visible as snow-covered earthworks on aerial photographs of that date. Nearby sites which may have been the target of a German bombing raid include the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway (Northern Section) (NHER 13585) 550m to the east and a possible World War Two searchlight or anti- aircraft battery (NHER 38795) 485m to the west. It is equally possible, however, that the bombs were intended for a more distant target or that they were dropped at random by an enemy bomber prior to making its return journey across the North Sea.

Norfolk NMP. A line of four probable bomb craters dating to World War Two are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1 to S3), from TG 2525 3953 to TG 2518 3953. They were earthworks in January 1943 (S1), and appear to have been relatively fresh (and therefore recently created) at this date, although their exact physical appearance is masked by a covering of snow. Since they lie in an arable field it seems most likely that they were formed after the field was last ploughed, presumably during late summer or early autumn in 1942, as otherwise they might be expected to have a less crisp appearance. They were certainly levelled by ploughing by 1946, when they are visible as cropmarks (S2). They were still visible as cropmarks in 1989 (S3).
The craters form an almost straight line for a distance of approximately 65m, each spaced between 6m and 16m apart. The earthwork craters measured up to 9m in diameter. (S1-3) S.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38844 - MNF44951 Post medieval field boundaries Monument Two intersecting field boundaries of post medieval date are visible as the cropmarks of banks and ditches on aerial photographs. One of the boundaries appears to be depicted on Northrepps Tithe Map (1840) and in general the cropmarks fit into the pattern of post medieval enclosure shown on historic Ordnance Survey maps. They are therefore likely to date to the post medieval period although the origins of the field system may lie in an earlier period.

The bank and ditch aligned east to west are likely to correspond with the boundary depicted on Northrepps Tithe Map (S2) although they perhaps lie further to the south than is shown on the map. A rectangular feature, defined by lines of rather patchy white soilmarks at the western end of the east to west boundary, appears to be the product of modern agricultural activity rather than archaeology. Consequently it has not been mapped but there is a small possibility that it in fact represents the remains of an embanked enclosure or the foundations of a building associated with the field boundaries.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38854 - MNF44962 Ditched enclosure of possible Iron Age or Roman Monument date A rectilinear, possibly trapezoidal, ditched enclosure is partially visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. The enclosure is undated but morphologically it resembles simple rectilinear enclosures in Lincolnshire which have been broadly dated to the Iron Age to early Roman periods. A single sherd of possible Roman pottery has been recovered 600m to the southwest (NHER 6798), with further material of this date being found to the west (e.g. NHER 36255). In addition, a probable farmstead and field system identified approximately 1.75km to the west has also been dated (again on morphological grounds) to the Roman period (NHER 13063 and 38808). The enclosure is certainly slighted by, and therefore appears to pre-date, the field system depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps, the origins of which may date back to at least the medieval period.

Norfolk NMP. A rectilinear enclosure is partially visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2574 3920. The date of the enclosure is unknown, but similar enclosures in Lincolnshire have been broadly dated to the Iron Age to early Roman periods (S2 p51; fig. 2). The enclosure appears to be relatively isolated. A possible smaller enclosure to its west (NHER 38855) has a very different morphology but could perhaps be related. Fragmentary linear ditches mapped in the area between the two (NHER 38856) follow a different alignment and in one case (at TG 2573 3916) the ditch appears to slight (or be slighted by) the eastern enclosure. Other linear features visible on aerial photographs (S1, S3) are likely to be agricultural and consequently have not been mapped. The site appears to pre-date the post medieval field pattern depicted on historic maps such as (S4).
The enclosure is only partially visible but is likely to be trapezoidal in plan. It measures between 65m and 71m wide and is visible for up to 70m of its length. The ditch is rather discontinuous or fragmentary and the enclosure may have been double ditched for at least part of its north side. Of the breaks in the ditch that at the south end of the west side (at TG 2572 3917) is most likely to be a genuine entrance but this is far from certain. A possible eastward continuation of the north side of the enclosure cannot be distinguished from modern agricultural marks and consequently has not been mapped. (S1 to S4) S.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38855 - MNF44987 Rectilinear enclosure of possible Iron Age or Roman Monument date A possible rectilinear enclosure of unknown date is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. Although the enclosure is undated, morphologically it resembles simple rectilinear enclosures in Lincolnshire which are thought to date to the Iron Age and early Roman periods. A more substantial enclosure identified 150m to its east (NHER 38854) has been interpreted as being of this date, and Roman finds (NHER 36255) and a probable Roman farmstead and field system (NHER 13063 and 38808) have been recorded to the west. At the same time, the cropmarks of the enclosure are only faintly visible on aerial photographs from a single year and consequently there is a relatively high risk that they are a product of geological and modern agricultural processes rather than buried archaeological features.

Norfolk NMP. A possible rectilinear enclosure is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2555 3922. The enclosure is broadly comparable to sites in Lincolnshire which have been dated to the Iron Age and early Roman periods (S2 p51, fig. 2). It might therefore be associated with a more substantial rectilinear enclosure to its east (NHER 38854) which is also thought to date to this period. Beyond their basic plan, however, the two enclosures are morphologically dissimilar and despite sharing a similar alignment seem likely to date to two different (although potentially overlapping or contiguous) phases of activity. The alignment of at least three linear ditches (NHER 38856), visible as fragmentary cropmarks over this area, appears to slight both enclosures and these are likely to represent a third phase of activity.
The possible enclosure is broadly rectilinear or rectangular in plan. It is visible for up to 36m of its length and measures 22m wide. Its northern end appears have been separated off from the remainder of the enclosure, perhaps indicating a specialised function. (S1 to S2) S. Tremlett (NMP), 18 October 2004.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38856 - MNF44988 Linear ditches of possible Iron Age or Roman date Monument Three linear ditches of unknown date are visible as fragmentary cropmarks on aerial photographs. Their function is unknown but it is plausible that they might have acted as field boundaries. They are all aligned approximately parallel to each other, oriented northwest to southeast. This alignment is shared by areas of field system of possible Iron Age or Roman date which have been mapped in the surrounding area (e.g. NHER 38808). It is at odds, however, with that of two nearby enclosures (NHER 38854 and 38855) which may also date to this period. At the same time, it is at variance with, and therefore presumably earlier than, the pattern of enclosure depicted on historic maps.
Monument Types and Dates DITCH (Unknown date) Evidence CROPMARK FIELD BOUNDARY (Unknown date) Evidence CROPMARK Description and Sources Description October 2004. Norfolk NMP. Three linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2561 3917. The easternmost ditch overlies, or is overlain by, a rectilinear enclosure of probable Iron Age or early Roman date (NHER 38854). The alignment of the ditches suggests that they are also unrelated to a second possible enclosure of similar date (NHER 38855). The fact that this alignment is at odds with that of the field pattern depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps (S2) suggests that the ditches pre-date the later post medieval period at least.
The ditches are visible across an area measuring approximately 200m by 98m. The longest is visible for a distance of 85m, albeit with several breaks in its length. They are unevenly spaced between 48m and (if the line of the easternmost ditch is projected) 85m apart. (S1 to S2) S. Tremlett (NMP), 18 October 2004.

The pillbox, which appears to have been hexagonal in plan and was probably a Type 22, was constructed by June 1942. It may have still been standing in April 1946 but was demolished later that year. It stood at a junction on the road between Sidestrand and Trimingham and clearly formed part of the World War Two coastal defences for this area. The fact that the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway (Northern Section) (NHER 13585) lay 20m to its south may also have been a significant factor in its siting.

Description and Sources Description October 2004. Norfolk NMP. A ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2642 3987. There is no indication as to the date and function of the site but it is a plausible location for a Bronze Age round barrow. Although the possibility that it was the product of World War Two military activity (of which there is extensive evidence along the coast) cannot be ruled out, the absence of any evidence of such activity at this location on 1940s aerial photographs makes it unlikely. The site was mapped from aerial photographs taken in 1955 (S1) when it stood on the very edge of the coastal cliff. Consequently, its position is relatively approximate due to the absence of suitable control points for precise rectification of the photographs. Modern maps indicate that the site has been destroyed by coastal erosion since this the photographs were taken.
The ring ditch is rather sub-circular in plan and measures approximately 12m long and 11m wide. If the interpretation of the site as a round barrow is correct, a small, off-centre pit within the ring ditch might represent a grave pit. S. Tremlett (NMP), 18 October 2004.

It lay in a fairly typical position close to a field boundary, behind a line of barbed wire (NHER 38882). In 1942 the pillbox stood almost 150m inland of the cliff edge but modern maps indicate that the site it occupied has now been eroded and forms part of the cliff face.
Monument Types and Dates PILLBOX (World War Two - 1939 AD to 1945 AD) Evidence DESTROYED MONUMENT Evidence STRUCTURE
Description and Sources Description October 2004. Norfolk NMP. A possible World War Two pillbox is visible as a standing structure on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2663 3967. When viewed in stereo, the structure does seem rather tall for a pillbox and as it is only visible on one set of aerial photographs there is a possibility that it is an agricultural feature such as a hay or straw stack. The field in which it stands, however, does not appear to have been harvested when the photograph was taken and consequently it seems most likely that the visible structure is a pillbox.
The pillbox is possibly polygonal in plan but this is not particularly clear on the consulted aerial photographs and it has therefore been mapped as a circular feature. It measures approximately 4m in diameter. S. Tremlett (NMP), 19 October 2004. Sources (S1) Vertical Aerial Photograph: RAF. 1942. RAF AC/59 56-7 19-JUN-1942 (NMR).

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38887 - MNF44995 Undated rectilinear enclosure Monument Part of what may be a rectilinear enclosure, of unknown date, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The general alignment of the enclosure is similar to that of field systems of probable Iron Age to Romano-British date identified in the surrounding area, such as NHER 38808 which lies approximately 2.5km to the west. Additional linear ditches visible at the southeast corner of the site suggest that the enclosure may have been double ditched and had an outer annexe. Alternatively, these ditches might represent part of a surrounding field system or a separate phase of activity.

Description and Sources Description October 2004. Norfolk NMP. A possible rectilinear enclosure is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2658 3954. Too little of the postulated enclosure is visible to allow confident interpretation of its date and function, but its orientation and general morphology is comparable to Iron Age to Romano-British enclosures and field systems in the surrounding area. A number of linear features in the immediate vicinity of the site, visible on aerial photographs, could form part of a surrounding field system. In every case, however, they are more likely to be a product of geology, modern agriculture or the late post-medieval to modern field boundaries depicted on historic maps and consequently they have not been mapped. Linear features visible in the distance on an oblique aerial photograph (S2) could represent part of the western side of the enclosure but are too distant too warrant mapping.
The postulated enclosure is roughly rectangular in shape. It has an external length of 140m and an internal length of 130m. It is visible for up to 85.5m of its internal breadth; the postulated annexe extends this breadth by 25m. S. Tremlett (NMP), 19 October 2004.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38890 - MNF44998 Site of World War Two barbed wire construction Monument A barbed wire obstruction, part of the World War Two coastal defences for this area, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1943. The line of barbed wire lies more or less parallel to and slightly inland of the contemporary cliff edge. It may have been erected by 1942, when the field appears to have been ploughed up to this line although the barbed wire itself is not visible. By this earlier date a second line of barbed wire had been erected to the west (NHER 38882) and a small coastal defence site had been established to the east (NHER 38891). The extent of ploughing visible on 1946 aerial photographs may reflect the continued presence of the barbed wire, although again it is not actually visible. Modern maps indicate that the site has since eroded to become part of the cliff face.
Monument Types and Dates BARBED WIRE OBSTRUCTION (World War Two - 1939 AD to 1945 AD) Evidence STRUCTURE Description and Sources Description October 2004. Norfolk NMP. A World War Two barbed wire obstruction is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1943 (S1), from TG 2679 3969 to TG 2706 3950. The line of the barbed wire may be reflected by the extent of ploughing on aerial photographs taken in 1942 (S2) and 1946 (S3). The obstruction forms part of the World War Two coastal defences for the area. It might perhaps be the 'wire fence' erected to prevent access to the beach at Trimingham, which was mined (S4). S.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38892 - MNF45000 Cropmarks of undated linear and curvilinear ditches Monument Several linear and curvilinear ditches of unknown date and function are visible as cropmark on aerial photographs. They might conceivably form an outlying part of the more extensive areas of linear cropmarks mapped to the southwest (NHER 38895) and southeast (NHER 38896) for which an Iron Age to Romano-British date can be postulated. Only a small area of the site is visible, however, and the ditches are rather fragmentary. As a consequence the site is difficult to interpret and while the cropmarks have the general appearance of being older features, the possibility that the ditches have a modern agricultural origin cannot be ruled out.

The building is partially obscured by trees and the possibility that it is a hay or straw stack, rather than a pillbox, cannot be ruled out. It is however located in a suitable position for a pillbox, overlooking a bend in the road between Trimingham and Sidestrand. A second pillbox (NHER 38898), which lies 275m to the east, seems to guard a track leading to a small coastal defence site (NHER 38891) situated on the cliff edge 400m to the north-east. There is no sign of the structure on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and it had presumably been demolished by this date.

The pillbox is located at TG 2507 4087 and is hexagonal and 5m across, suggesting that it is a type 22 (S1-2). The pillbox has been heavily camouflaged in 1942 (S1). On the beach front to the west of this in 1942 are two rectangular structures, 3.5m by 2.5m (S2). These features are too indistinct on the aerial photographs to offer any definite interpretation. All of these structures are gone by 1946 (S3).

Description and Sources Description March 2004. Norfolk NMP. A cropmark site of unknown but possibly Iron Age to Romano-British date, is visible on aerial photographs to the south of Tower Lane, Sidestrand (S1). The site consists of a series of ditches, which are interpreted as the fragmentary remains of field boundaries and a possible trackway. The site is centred on TG 2579 4005.
The cropmarks mainly consist of two stretches of linear ditch running in alignment from TG 2582 4009 to TG 2573 4003. To the western end of the site one of these parallel ditches may form a 16m section of trackway. A pair of further parallel ditches are visible to the south of the site following the same alignment. To the north and south of the main ditches are several perpendicular fragmentary linear features. Although the cropmark evidence is quite scarce, it is possible to interpret these features as being part of a coaxial arrangement of field boundaries and trackways. These features could be of any date, although an Iron Age to Roman date would be consistent with features this type. Fragments of a Roman quern were found in a back garden backing on to the field. This may indicate settlement of that date in this area, although there is a possibility that the object was transported to the site through antiquarian activity, see NHER 15384 for details.
Additional possible cropmarks were tentatively identified but not mapped due to uncertainty over the archaeological nature of some of the features visible. Many of the cropmarks were quite faint and could easily be confused with and masked by the surrounding geological cropmarks. Therefore some caution must be applied to the archaeological origin of all these mapped features, especially as they were only visible on one set of aerial photographs. S.

Norfolk NMP. An area of World War Two practice trenches and weapons pits are visible on aerial photographs from to the immediate west of Sidestrand Hall (S1-2). The site is centred on TG 2593 4004. In 1942 two sections of trench are visible within the edge of the woodland belt of to the west of the hall (S1). Further possible weapons pits and short trench sections are also visible in the field to the west. In 1946 an additional earthwork ditch or trench is visible perpendicular to the field boundary (S2). A further area of pits and trenches is located 90m to the south (NHER 38975). The cliff tops along this stretch of coast are defended by a series of barbed wire obstruction and gun emplacements (NHER 38510 and 38973). It is possible given the location of the trenches on the edge of Sidestrand Hall, that it was being used as accommodation or training ground during the war. S. Massey (NMP), 10 November 2004.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38976 - MNF45122 Site of World War Two pillbox Monument A World War Two pillbox, probably a Type 22, is visible as a standing structure on aerial photographs. It lies beside the Sidestrand to Overstrand road and was clearly constructed as part of the extensive World War Two defences which once occupied this part of the coast. The pillbox was constructed by June 1942. It was still in place in 1946 but later aerial photographs indicate that it was demolished soon after this date.

They all appear to be relatively fresh earthworks in 1942, suggesting that they were recently constructed, although the slit trench looks more overgrown that the other features. The possible emplacement is visible only as a slight bank and is rather dubious as an archaeological feature. A number of pits are visible in the same area on later aerial photographs (S2), but the earthworks appear too fresh to be World War Two features and consequently they have not been mapped. S.

Description and Sources Description November 2004. Norfolk NMP. A possible post medieval wreck or partially submerged structure is visible in the intertidal zone at Sidestrand (S1-2). This site is located at TG 2603 4024. The possible wreck or structure is at least 20m long and 9.5m wide, although it is partially obscured by sediment and may have a larger extent. The southern and landward side of the structure is almost entirely covered by sand and accumulated vegetation. The northern half exhibits a rectangular grid composition, which is likely to represent the framework of a boat. This structure is only clearly visible in February 1955 (S2), although a submerged dark elongated area is visible in the correct location in 1952 (S1). The 1953 storm caused a large section of the cliffs at this point top collapse (S3), covering this area with cliff material. It is therefore possible that either the clearing of this area and consolidation of this cliff may have exposed this area, although the storms and cliff collapse itself may have altered the scour patterns on the coast and altered intertidal deposition and movement in this area. As this submerged structure cannot be seen clearly in 1952 there remains a possibility that the structure relates to the 1953 disaster itself, either a wreckage or a structure that has fallen with the cliff. However the 1952 aerial photographs would suggest that the vessel or structure pre- dates this event. It also is possible that it related to a previous cliff fall. S. Massey (NMP), 16 November 2004.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38510 - MNF45127 Site of World War Two barbed wire obstruction Monument The site consists of several sections of World War Two barbed wire obstruction along the cliff top at Sidestrand, which are visible on RAF aerial photographs. A group of gun emplacements are also situated within this defended area to the north of Sidestrand Hall (NHER 38973). A further possible defensive structure is located at the western end of the barbed wire (NHER 38972).
Monument Types and Dates BARBED WIRE OBSTRUCTION (World War Two - 1939 AD to 1945 AD) Evidence STRUCTURE Description and Sources Description March 2004. Norfolk NMP The site consists of several sections of World War Two barbed wire obstruction along the cliff top at Sidestrand, which are visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1942-6 (S1-3). The site is centred on TG 2625 3991. A group of gun emplacements are also situated within this defended area to the north of Sidestrand Hall (NHER 38973). A further possible defensive structure is located at the western end of the barbed wire (NHER 38972).
The barbed wire forms a broken line of individual sections from TG 2572 4028 to TG 2671 3963. The earliest aerial photographs where this defence is visible are from 1942 (S1). Sections of this barrier of still visible in 1953 (S4). This barbed wire barrier appears to run across the top of the cliff edge, which would seem an unlikely position for such a defence, as there is no obvious approach from the beach below that it is defending. However this area of the cliffs was being used for military training and defence, as evidenced by the nearby groups of practice trenches (NHER 38971, 38975) and coastal gun emplacements (NHER 38972-3). It is also possible that Sidestrand Hall was being used by military troops, although there is no definite evidence of this visible on the aerial photographs.
The fact that sections of this barrier are still visible as late as 1953, may suggest that the barrier has been retained to a certain extent, blocking off the edge of a rapidly eroding cliff. S.

Description and Sources Description November 2004. Norfolk NMP. A group of World War Two cliff top defences and gun emplacements is visible on aerial photographs to the west of Sidestrand Hall (S1-2). The site is centred on TG 2575 4031. These sit within an area of barbed wire obstruction (NHER 38510) and other small groups of coastal defences (NHER 38978-9). A World War Two searchlight battery is also located 200m to the west (NHER 38967).
At TG 2573 4032 is a small structure, approximately 2.5m across, with chamfered corners and an extension projecting seawards. This structure may be a gun emplacement or perhaps a watch post or similar defensive position. This structure is visible in 1940-2 (S1-3). To the east of this is a small concrete platform cut into the extreme edge of the cliff. This structure, assumed to be a gun emplacement, is not clearly visible by 1942 (S3) suggesting that it has been lost to cliff erosion. To the south of these two cliff top structures in 1941 (S2), is low mound with rectangular concrete frontage and top. The purpose of this structure is not known, although it seems likely that it has some sort of sub-surface component. This structure appears quite similar to the block set into the cliff, only viewed from a different angle on the oblique aerial photographs. It is possible that this structure is still present in 1942, although it cannot be distinguished with certainty on the aerial photographs (S3). S. Massey (NMP), 23 November 2004.

Description and Sources Description November 2004. Norfolk NMP. An area of possible World War Two defences or military training site is visible on aerial photographs from 1940 to 1942 (S1- 3), to the west of Sidestrand Hall. The site is centred on TG 2577 4018. These sit within an area of barbed wire obstruction (NHER 38510) and other small cliff top coastal defences (NHER 38972, 38978). A World War Two searchlight battery is also located 240m to the west (NHER 38967). In oblique aerial photographs from 1940 (S1-2) a possible area of World War Two structures is visible, although none of these could easily be distinguished on the photographs and were marked on the NMP mapping using an extent of area. These are no longer visible in 1941 (S4). In 1942 a small structure of unknown function is visible within the area of the earlier defences at TG 2576 4017 (S3). S. Massey (NMP), 23 November 2004.

Other cliff top defences are located to the east (NHER 35810, 38972, 38979).
At TG 2557 4037 is a circular gun emplacement, 3m in diameter and with a concrete gun pit, with an entrance to the west. To the north of this is a zigzag slit trench system, running from TG 2560 4039 to TG 2558 4040. The terminals and projecting points appears to have been revetted with concrete sections or possibly sandbags or earthen embankment in places. The concrete components project slightly above the profile of the trench, and may be related to firing positions. These defences are to the immediate north of the site of the searchlight battery. The battery is visible in October 1940 (S4), at which point this site has not been constructed. By August 1941 the battery has been dismantled and no sign of its structures no longer exists (S1) and the gun emplacement and trench system have been constructed nearer to the cliff top, replacing the guns of the battery.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 38967 - MNF45181 Site of World War Two searchlight Monument A World War Two searchlight battery was located near the cliffs at Sidestrand and is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1940. The site consists of a searchlight emplacement, several gun emplacements, possible spigot mortar emplacements and a hut, which may have housed the site generator. This defensive site has been completely dismantled by 1941 and a second area of coastal defences created to the immediate north (NHER 39868). Other cliff top defences are located to the east (NHER 35810, 38972, 38979).

Norfolk NMP. A World War Two searchlight battery is located near the cliffs at Sidestrand and is visible on aerial photographs in 1940 (S1- 3). The site is centred on TG 2552 4031 and consists of a searchlight emplacement and several gun emplacements and possible spigot mortar emplacements and a hut. The site appears to be under possible modification or decommissioning in- between August and September 1940 (S1-3), as components are still being removed from the site. By August 1941 (S4) this site has been completely dismantled and a second area of coastal defences had been created to the immediate north (NHER 39868). Other cliff top defences are located to the east (NHER 35810, 38972, 38979).
The searchlight emplacement is centred on TG 2551 4030 and comprises of a 9.1m diameter circular concrete or possible sandbag construction, with an entrance to the west. To the north of this are a series of smaller circular, light anti-aircraft gun emplacements, ranging from 2.5-6.5m in diameter. The larger of the group, at TG 2550 4033, may be the predictor emplacement. The two smaller circular structures, in particular at example located at TG 2555 4030, may have been a spigot mortar emplacement. By August 1940 (S1) a rectangular building has been erected against the western field boundary, measuring 6m by 4m, possibly of concrete or brick construction. This may have housed the generator or possibly acted as accommodation. By September 1940 this structure has been removed (S2-3). Although in September (S1-2) a very clear and well-defined vehicle tracks leads to a large agricultural building to the immediate east of the site, located at TG 2562 4033. It is possible that this shed was now being used by the troops, either for accommodation or to house equipment. Although the removal of the hut from the site may indicate that the site was already going out of active use, as evidenced by its complete removal during the next year. In the September 1940 aerial photographs (S2-3), centred on TG 2555 4029, is an area of disturbance, which cannot clearly be distinguished due to the oblique angle of the photographs, but it is possible that it relates to removal and dismantling of structures.

Norfolk NMP. A World War Two slit trench and a possible low mound or structure are visible on aerial photographs in Overstrand (S1-4). These features are centred on TG 2527 4061 and are positioned to the south side of the road, formerly linking what is now the High Street and the Coast Road. This site is in close proximity to several other defensive sites; a pair of gun emplacements on the cliff edge (NHER 38981) and a large concrete platform assumed to have held a gun position (NHER 38982).
The trench is 35m long and a pronounced zigzag shape, 2.5m wide, and with a flanking bank on both sides. This trench is clearly visible in 1942-3 (S1-2) although it is possible it was constructed earlier. The oblique aerial photographs from 1940-1 (S3-4) suggest recent activity in this location, but the angle of the photograph means that the site is obscured by the large hedge on the seaward side. To the north of the trench at TG 2526 4062 is a possible oblong mound or structure, measuring 5m by 2m. This is feature can possibly be distinguished over the hedge in 1940 (S3) and remains until 1943 (S2). It is not clear whether this is a subsurface feature covered by a low mound or sandbag arrangement, it may even be concrete, as it has a light and slight shiny appearance. Additional and clearer photography would be required to further interpret this feature. (S1-4) S. Massey (NMP), 25 November 2004. Sources (S1) Vertical Aerial Photograph: RAF. 1942.

To the west are the heavily defended steps down to the beach, which had been protected with several pillboxes, gun emplacements and road blocks (NHER 38506).
The individual guns are positioned at TG 2528 4068 and at TG 2527 4064. Both consist of a 1m thick and 5.5m long, angular, C-shaped wall on the cliff edge, which is backed by a curving C-shaped wall of sandbags or similar material. The southern gun emplacement is destroyed in-between September 1940 (S1) and August 1941 (S2). This appears to be due to the cliff edge collapsing, although this may have been caused by enemy fire. The northern emplacement survives until at least 1943 (S3-4). The wall presumably had a series of loopholes or slots in the face. (S1-4) S. Massey (NMP), 25 November 2004.

Norfolk NMP. A large square World War Two gun emplacement on an embanked concrete plinth is located on the cliff edge at Overstrand and is visible on aerial photographs from 1941-2 (S1-2). The site is centred on TG 2531 4061. This defensive position is positioned in close proximity to several other military sites; a slit trench to the south of the coast road (NHER 38980) and a pair of gun emplacements on the opposite side of the collapsed cliff embayment (NHER 38981). To the west are the heavily defended steps down to the beach, which had been protected with several pillboxes, gun emplacements and road blocks (NHER 38506).
The square gun base is located at TG 2533 4061. This consists of 6m across square concrete plinth, which appears to have earth or similar material revetment. An angular trench and covered path approach this base. This defence is constructed in- between September 1940 and August 1941 (S2-3). This emplacement is likely to have held a light anti-aircraft gun. The site cannot be seen clearly on the aerial photographs from 1943 (S4), although in 1946 elements of the site remain (S5), the majority of the site has since been lost to cliff erosion.
To the immediate south of this, next to the road, is a disturbed concrete or stone surface visible in 1940-2 (S1-3). This area is slightly terraced into the slope down to the cliff edge and indicates the location of former buildings and associated yards at this site, which are marked on the 1st edition map (6", 1879-1886)(S6). These had been demolished by the time that the 2nd edition was surveyed (1902-7, 25") (S7). These features were not mapped as their shape and extent are recorded adequately on the 1st edition map.

Two room plan house facing east. The large left hand south room is heated from a large gable end fireplace, the smaller right hand north room also has a gable end stack but this might be a later insertion. The present 20th century straight staircase between the two rooms has an entrance lobby at the front. There is said to have been a winder staircase at the side of the large left end stack. The single storey wing behind the left hand room and the pair of cottages not included in the listing adjoining at the right northern end, are 19th century additions.
The exterior has two storeys. Asymmetrical two window east front.

The south gable end has diaper brickwork high up in gable, 20th century casements and 20th century conservatory. On the opposite north end there is a 19th century pair of cottages with a lower roofline.
The interior was altered in the 20th century but the large left hand south room has a chamfered axial beam with bar-fluted stops, a stopped chamfer half beam over the brick fireplace which has a large oak lintel with a scratch moulding on the lower edge. Chamfered ceiling beam in the chamber above and reused timbers used as joists.

zMonDataProtection Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 125 HER Number 60004 - MNF66089 Site Name Incomplete Palaeolithic flint handaxe
HER Number Site Name Record Type 60004 - MNF66089 Incomplete Palaeolithic flint handaxe Find Spot In 2009 an incomplete Palaeolithic flint handaxe was found on this part of the beach, between the cliff base and the breakwater revetment.
Monument Types and Dates FINDSPOT (Lower Palaeolithic to Middle Palaeolithic - 500000 BC to 40001 BC)
Description and Sources Description Pre August 2009. Stray Find. Found among shingle between the cliff base and the breakwater revetment: 1 Palaeolithic flint handaxe (incomplete). Butt end of a large, fairly thin handaxe, probably an ovate. Edges relatively sharp. The general characteristics differ from those of most of the previous beach finds, suggesting this may be derived from a cliff- top deposit. Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2009.261) but apparently not initially reported to the NHER. Identified by P. Robins (NCM), August 2009. See description in file.
It should be noted that the grid reference listed for this findspot places it much further out to sea than the position suggested by the above description. It has been assumed that the grid reference is nevertheless a reasonable indication of how far along the beach this object was found. P. Watkins (HES), 7 March 2014.

HER Number Site Name Record Type 60089 - MNF66436 Upper Palaeolithic/Mesolithic retouched flint Find Spot implement The British Museum holds an Upper Palaeolithic/Mesolithic retouched flint implement that was found near the "old church" (NHER 6797), most likely during the early 20th century.
Monument Types and Dates FINDSPOT (Upper Palaeolithic to Late Mesolithic - 40000 BC to 4001 BC)
Description and Sources Description ?1920s. Stray Find. The British Museum holds an Upper Palaeolithic/Mesolithic flint "retouched piece" that was found by S. H. Warren at Sidestrand (2011,8114.868). According to the museum's records this was found "near the old church" - almost certainly a reference to the former site of St Michael's Church (NHER 6797) which was demolished in 1880. The site of this church has now been lost to coastal erosion. It is not recorded when this object was found, although it is known that Warren visited the Sidestrand foreshore in order to investigate the site of a controversial Palaeolithic discovery during the late 1920s - see (S1) and NHER 6773.
It should be noted that the mapped extent of this record reflects only the approximate location of this findspot. P. Watkins (HES), 25 June 2014. Sources (S1) Article in serial: Sainty, J.
