An irregularly shaped pit, circa 22m long by 13m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork corresponds with a structure (MDV72874) and adjacent land parcel 557 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. Land parcel 557 is recorded as being pasture on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. The structure and land parcel are also shown on the early 20th century Second Edition Ordnance Survey map, although both have been cleared by the time of the 1953-1969 Ordnance Survey map. The earthwork is interpreted as an extraction pit, although it is unknown whether it pre-dates or post-dates the structure and adjacent land parcel which are shown on the historic maps. It is therefore dated as being of between post-medieval to early to mid-20th century date. ‘Workings (dis)’ are labelled in this location on the 2020 Ordnance Survey MasterMap.
