The statistics of impact structures indicate that Britain should have Phanerozoic impact structures up to tens of kilometres in diameter. A constant theme is the importance of atmospheric break-up of small asteroids and comets. These fragmenting bodies produce anomalously shallow craters with low rims and central peaks; three British structures of this type are identified.;Analysis of fireball statistics implies that damaging fireball explosions occur over the British Isles on a time-scale of decades. On a time-scale of millennia, however, more damage is done by Atlantic impact tsunami. 606 $aMeteorite craters$zGreat Britain 606 $aMeteorites$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMeteorite craters 615 0$aMeteorites 676 $a551.3970941 700 $aStratford$b Richard$0862279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453894403321 996 $aBombarded Britain$91924843 997 $aUNINA
