Two roughly circular earthwork pits, circa 14 metres in diameter, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2005. They are sited approximately 550 metres north-east of bombing decoy MDV72100, and can be interpreted as Second World War bomb craters, presumably resulting from bombs intended for Exeter and suggesting that the decoy successfully served its intended function.
