Full Description
A small area of impact craters is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s, approximately 100 metres to the south of Lucott Cross. The craters are evidence of Second World War military training, probably associated with the artillery firing range to the northwest. They cannot be clearly seen on later aerial photographs and may have been levelled or simply be obscured by vegetation.
