Three small circular pits are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as earthworks to the east of Exmouth. At circa two to three metres in diameter the pits appear too small to be bomb craters and the function of the pits is unknown. They were located in a field which appears to be used as a campsite and might have been associated with it. This area has been redeveloped and the pits levelled.
