'Hare Hill' is an exact replica of the type of bomb carried by the German Junkers Ju 88 plane during the Second World War. The bomb is cast in rubber and sits on a black granite plinth in a gap in Jupiter Artland’s boundary wall. Mounted on the boundary wall nearby is a bronze cast of a model Junkers Ju 88.

During the Second World War, a German Junkers Ju 88 crashed into the nearby Pentland Hills; the artwork was created in response to this historical event, now subsumed within the local landscape. The bronze cast of the German plane fuses modes of commemoration familiar to generations of model-making schoolchildren with those of the sculptural tradition. A second cast of the aircraft was buried at the crash site itself, connecting the two sites.
