Earthwork banks and a pit are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Brambleoak Cross, Woodland. The earthworks comprise a ringed bank enclosure, circa 40m in diameter, with internal pit, circa 20m diameter, with an oval shaped mound, circa 22m in length, located to the immediate south. The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the available 19th century mapping and are interpreted as evidence of a possible extractive pit with associated spoil heaps of post-medieval or early 19th century date.
