A WWII bomb crater and extensive area of upcast visible on vertical aerial photographs from 1942 [1]. It is unclear whether or not the crater remains as a depression as later photographs show the site as covered by scrub and trees [2].

A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [3].
