Two circular earthwork pits, 12 and 14 metres in diameter, are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and interpreted as Second World War bomb craters. Although indistinct, slight indications of earthworks on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 indicates that some remains may survive.
