A group of three circular earthwork pits, approximately 6.5 metres in diameter, are visible on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They are probably fairly slight as only one is clearly visible on aerial photographs taken from 1945. They are interpreted as Second World War bomb craters.
