If you approach thru' the woods (turn left at the gate out of the car park rather than going down to the beach), follow the track past a small lake (or big pool... whatever you will!) raised hide with walkways, n' through the back yard of an old house, you'll eventually spot another raised hide on the edge of the wood... you can get a good view across the camp from there.

There's a track that leads across the marsh back towards the road and past the camp. It's still quite well defined with good deep ditches and a raised causway leading off into the woods (which the hide stands on). I'll post my pics when I get them developed.

Caistor St Eds is only about a 5 min drive from the henge. I think it was established by the Romans after Boudicca's revolt was crushed... I'm not sure if ow't stood on the spot before. It'd be interesting to find the settlement and field systems of the people who built the henge... they must be fairly nearby!

A search on Caistor St. Edmund by Pastscape threw up a circular enclosure seen from the air 1km SW of Arminghall that on the ground could be a henge ( TG20NW 159 ) . More importantly in answer to Kozmik Ken's query is the other site , Markshall Old Heath TG20SW 1 , at grid reference TG2204 . This site had six EBA ring-ditches ( of which five were excavated ) , an Early Iron Age settlement , four Late Iron Age enclosures and various later additions through the ages . Finds in Norwich Museum .
