Abstract:		 An archaeological survey was carried out at three sites on RAF Feltwell, Norfolk. This revealed three largely concrete structures that had been built and used during and after World War II. These included a square water tank (WT), an L-shaped air-raid shelter (ARS) and a diesel and leaded petroleum bulk fuel installation (BFI). The air-raid shelter had no surviving internal features and the walls and roof were reinforced with metal rods and mesh. It was entered by a stairwell at the northern end and had a probable ventilation hole in the roof at the southern end, covered by a grate. It appears to be a variation of the Stanton type. The water tank was fully intact and had a manhole in the south-east corner. A number of other features were also recorded and probably relate to the construction of the tank. The largest structure, the fuel installation, was made up of six underground fuel tanks. The top of the tanks was accessed by four walkways, all of which were buried under a mound of topsoil. A chalk, mortar and plaster compound abutted the structure to reinforce certain walls. Other walls were reinforced with metal rods. Pipes, cast metal stands and other features of unknown function survived. The structure was partly damaged during decommissioning in the mid 1960s.
