Four large irregularly shaped earthwork pits are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010, and as areas of tree or scrub growth on aerial photographs taken from 1947. One at ST0935610556 is marked as an old marl pit on late-19th century mapping, and the others are depicted as areas of rough ground; these are also likely to be post-medieval or 19th century extraction pits that became disused by the late-19th century.
