There was a Flying Training airfield located at nearby (Long Newnton) so these finds may be part of an air-dropped container load. Possibly over 500 bomblets against a target of opportunity. A simple impact fuze 13 or 13A most would have burned out. Some versions had a small explosive charge as a self-destruct or antihandling.
The EOD team would have taken the safe option and placed them all together in a shallow pit covered in sand for demolition.
