A circular or oval pit approximately 11 metres in diameter was visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a shallow earthwork to the north of Higher Roach Farm. The pit, grassed over by 1946, might have been evidence of a former quarry or extractive pit, potentially of post medieval date. The earthwork was visible on aerial photographs of 1967 but cannot be seen on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010 and has probably been levelled.
