Four areas of disturbance, possibly bomb craters, dating to WWII visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945 [1], but not in 1942 [2] and located in Dover. The features had diameters between 8m and 13m and were arranged in a semi-circle within an area of slit trenches (NMR1426773 and MKE17280) and above a Convict and Military Prison (MKe17270). The features were not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2007 [3], when the site was in use as grassland.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
