An oval pit, circa 19m long by 10m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic mapping, although earthworks labelled as ‘Old Quarry’ are shown in proximity to the southeast. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
