An irregular pit, approximately 14 by 18 metres, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1978. It is likely to be a quarry pit, perhaps associated with a larger quarry circa 110 metres to the west, which was marked as 'old' on the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping. The extraction products are not recorded but could have included materials for construction of the nearby road or hedgebanks, probably in the post-medieval period. Although it is not clearly visible on later aerial photographs, earthwork remains may well survive.
