Monument record NAC 073 - World War II earthwork, possibly a trench or air raid shelter.

An earthwork of unknown function, but possibly of World War II date, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1944, centred on TM 21993997 to the east of Anchor House in Nacton parish. The earthwork is located in the middle of a cultivated field in the centre of the village and appears to consist of an 'L' shaped mound, around 30m in overall length, with a number of slit trenches cut into the mound. It does not appear to have been cultivated like the rest of the field, possibly suggesting a relatively recent origin. The feature appears to have been ploughed by 1946, suggesting that it may be of World War II date. The function of the feature is unclear but one possibility is that the earthworks are covering some type of air raid shelter. (S1) (S2)
