Advance Ammunition Parks used by the RAF were often enlarged to include USAAF munitions. These dumps which might exploit natural cave systems or dense woodland, also included concrete structures as a means of protection. Some were also used to store poison gas bombs or chemical weapons.
Earsham Hall was used as the headquarters building and the camp was in the grounds.
