The road surface has sunk at this location so that there is ridge which catches the underside of vehicles with low suspension. This used to cause just scratches to the road, but as the subsidence has worsened (probably with increased use due to the A43 roadworks) it is now bad enough for potholes to result from the damage to the surface.
