Full Description
Four WWII bomb craters dropped in a single bombing event, located in North Stonar, and visible on military aerial photographs taken in January 1942 [1].
The line of sub-circular craters measure between 2m and 4m and are all surrounded by a ring of upcast. The craters have been dropped in a NW-SE line and are first visible in January 1942 [1] and were mapped from this series. They are no longer visible by January 1945 [2]. The area still remains unused and so earthwork remains of the craters may still exist.
The position of the craters may be slightly inaccurate due to difficulties rectifying the photographs.
