A well-defined circular pit, circa 22m diameter, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1986 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It does not correspond with any pit features in this location on the available 19th century mapping and is interpreted as a possible post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit.
