This is one of 4 fairly regular sized circular features in a linear spread between 20 and 30 meters apart, which extends through part of Brinken Wood and out across Warwickslade. I can't be certain, but they remind me of and present similar features to craters caused by bombs, as I've seen on World War Two military ranges. It was common for bombers and fighters to dump any undelivered ordinance before their return journey, the size of these craters suggests the latter. Less than half a mile East at Allum Green in 1940, 4 soldiers of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps were killed in a bombing raid and 14 men injured. It's possible this site could be connected.
