An extraction pit of probable post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1969 onwards and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2006, to the south of Bystock Wood. The largely infilled clay or gravel extraction pit is sub-oval in shape, measures approximately 28m in length by 22m in width and appears to be partly truncated along its eastern edge by a north to south aligned drainage ditch. The former extraction pit is located within an area dominated by similar such features. It remains visible as a shallow earthwork pit on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2006.
