The remains of a large pit of probably twentieth century date is visible as a cropmark and earthwork on aerial photographs of 1989 and images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2010 to the north-west of Shuffshayes Farm. The possible pit is over 150 metres long north to south and over 80 metres wide east to west. The precise function of the earthwork pit is unknown must be related to a somewhat smaller quarry depicted in this location on mid-twentieth century maps. The earthwork and cropmark might then relate to a later phase of the quarry. The feature has been recorded to avoid confusion with archaeological remains of earlier date.
