A circular pit with a diameter of 11m is visible on aerial photographs (p1). It appears to have a thin outer bank and a possible ditch, both of which are visible as cropmarks. The size and shape of this feature would suggest that it is the remains of a bomb crater and resulting spoil ring. It has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
