Type and Period (1)
Full Description
A circular hollow is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of Charlestown taken in the 1940's (1-2). It is considered likely to be the remains of a bomb crater associated with Second World War activity in this area. This feature was digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). It is not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by modern devlopment.
