Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A Second World War bomb crater is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs on land to the south of Dunwich Forest, Westleton. It is difficult to determine from recent photography whether the earthwork is still extant, but it is assumed to have been levelled, since it is not visible on Lidar imagery of the area.
