Full Description
A group of three hollows are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of Littlesea Holiday Park, Chickerell (1-2). They are considered likely to be the remains of bomb craters associated with Second World War activity in this area. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by modern development.
