A dark circular cropmark, circa 12 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. Its circular form, location near Torquay, and the date of the photograph on which it is observed, suggest it could be a Second Wold War bomb crater, although there is no characteristic cracking or upcast around the edges. It is perhaps more likely to have formed over the infilled remains of a tree throw or extractive pit.
