BOMB CRATER? (Second World War - 1939 AD to 1945 AD)

Full Description

February 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
A possible Second World War bomb crater is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2) on land to the south of Dunwich Forest, Westleton. It is hard to be certain of the exact nature of this feature, and it is possible that it may represent a military feature, but it seems most likely to represent a bomb crater.
E. Ford (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 11th February 2015.
