Summary
A group of Second World War bomb craters are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. These are situated in Canada Bottom, east of Cissbury. These closely spaced craters are likely to be the result of military training due to their compact distribution and the fact that more are seen on photographs taken in 1946 than are present on those taken in 1944.
