shothole
Drilled explosive opening
Shothole is a small round hole, typically one of many.
In woodworking and forestry, shotholes are the circular tunnels bored by beetles into bark or timber.
In plant pathology, shothole describes a fungal or bacterial disease that causes circular spots to drop out of leaves, leaving them looking peppered with buckshot: The cherry tree's leaves are riddled with shothole.
In mining and construction, a shothole is a drilled hole packed with explosives for blasting.
