A possible clay extraction pit of post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1969 and as an infilled earthwork mound on aerial photographs of 1979 onwards and digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the northeast of Home Farm. The site of the possible extraction pit is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as an oval-shaped area of dense vegetation and is only partly exposed as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1969. The site of the former extraction pit has been completely cleared of vegetation and completely infilled by 1979. Recent digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2007 show the infilled extraction pit visible as a slight, undulating earthwork mound.
