The sub-circular crater has a length of 8m and is first visible in January 1941 [1], and was mapped from a photograph taken in May 1942 [2]. It is no longer visible by April 1946 [3]. The area has since been developed for housing.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [4].
