Matlaske OB and Auxiliary Unit
by Jeremy Norman

(as far is known)

H.West.


The site is located in private woodland, close to the boundary of the Parishes of Matlaske
and Wolterton.
The OB was constructed by the Unit themselves and materials were reportedly, corrugated sheet
and thick timbers with possible use of an Anderson Shelter within the excavated site.
No substantial materials remain and the OB shows as a sunken
outline From it’s siting, assumed targets would possibly have been Matlaske
Airfield (within one mile); Oulton Airfield (within three miles); Wolterton Hall or Barningham Hall (if used
as Military HQ sites)
Detailed research continues around this patrol.
