Metal detector survey by P Phillipson on the site of a USAAF Douglas C47 Skytrain aircraft that crashed on 25 October 1944. Contemporary photographs show most of the wreckage on the surface of the field. A few items probably related to the incident were recovered although nothing firmly associated with this type of aircraft, which supports a suggestion that the site was comprehensively cleared at the time.
