An extraction pit of probable post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the east of Liverton Farm. The former extraction pit is circular in shape, measures approximately 13m in diameter and is located within an area dominated by similar such earthwork features. The former extraction pit remains visible as an earthwork pit on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, although is obscured by dense tree coverage of Knowle Hill Plantations.
