One of those large holes you come across, usually in woodland, from time to time. I always assumed they were most likely to be bomb craters, or disused quarries. This page on the history of Burnham https://ubp.buckscc.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid=TBC715 has a host of local facts, some of which might also be relevant. It is beside the bridleway from Taplow Common Road to Hitcham as it curves around the patch of woodland containing the hole, next to Huntswood Golf Club.
