One small oblong feature is visible as a large cut feature on aerial photographs taken in 1978, and is classed as a quarry of post-medieval date. The spatial object attributes record the feature as a cropmark, but the MORPHE data record it as an earthwork, and it is unclear whether this feature manifested as a cropmark, and earthwork, or both.
