A possible quarry of probable post medieval date is visible as an earthwork pit on digital images derived from Lidar data acquired in 2006, located roughly 190 metres West-North-West of Lower Mullacott Farm at circa SS50694548. The earthwork pit does not correspond with any features depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25in First Edition map and had therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 1880s. The precise function of the pit is unknown but its location adjacent to a post-medieval enclosure boundary and might support the interpretation that it was excavated to provide wall building material.
