Thanks for that Bentlegs!
Not the most sensible thing to do!

I remember as a young lad going bird nesting in the small woodland at the back of where Slaters pen/land was. At the bottom of the large field facing the back gate of the graveyard. I came across a largish crater in the middle of the trees. At the time I found it unusual and wondered what this big crater shape was doing there. I had no idea bombs had been dropped in the area then, being so young. So looking back I think it could well have been a bomb crater. It’s probably well overgrown now.
