| Summary : A possible Second World War bomb crater, visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1944 and 1947, has been mapped as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. The feature appears as an area of disturbed earth with overall dimensions of about 24.2m by 15.9m. It is located just outside the south western corner of the perimeter fence of the Lodge Hill Armaments Depot (Monument 1077634). If this feature is a bomb crater, it may be evidence of an (apparently minor) air raid on Lodge Hill which took place on the night of 7-8 May 1942, and may be associated with other craters located in the vicinity of the south western part of Lodge Hill Depot Depot (Monuments 1547580, 1547583, 1547587, 1547590). |
