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.
