Monument record MWX43353 - WWII bomb craters south of Boxlees Hill, Minster Marshes
Summary
Two small bomb-craters are visible in the field between the sewage works at Boxlees Hill and the River Stour on 1940s aerial photographs. It is probable that these derive from a WWII bombing raid as a dense concentration of similar features are visible 100m to the east on the same photographs. Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that they have been infilled and levelled.
