meteorite crater formed in alluvium near Boxhole Homestead, Northern Territory, central Australia. It is situated 155 miles (250 km) northeast of the Henbury meteorite craters. The bowl-shaped crater, discovered in 1937, is 583 feet (178 m) in diameter and 53 feet (16 m) deep. Numerous nickel–iron fragments have been found in the area. Because of its size, the crater is thought to have resulted from the explosion of a meteorite on impact, although no fused silica glass has been found at the site.
