Full Description

Three circular hollows can be seen on photographs taken in 1944. They appear to have been recently created and resemble bomb craters. (S1) However photographs taken in December 1946 show the features as circular banks, possibly with central hollows, picked out by the snow cover. It is possible that they are actually small military emplacements or gun pits. (S2)
