Extraction Pits of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the east of Lyndhayne Farm. The three adjacent earthworks are oval in shape and range from between 22m to 34m in length and between 15m to 25m in width. The extraction pits remain partly visible on aerial photographs of 1988, although by 1996, both the northern and southern of the earthwork pits are obscured by tree cover, with the third earthwork having been likely destroyed for creation of a pond.
