Full Description

Copdock Auxiliary unit operational base (S1)

The OB was situated in mature woodland, marked as Old Hall Wood. According to information lodged at the BRO Museum in Parham, the hole was filled with tree stumps (presumably the OB had been removed or destroyed). Small sections of tin sheets could still be seen at the time of recording in 1996 (S2).
