Two pale circular cropmarks or soilmarks, approximately 8 metres across and with a narrow darker border, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945. They are not visible on any other available aerial photographs and are likely to be the ploughed out remains of Second World War bomb craters. Below-ground remains may survive.
