A well-defined rectangular earthwork pit or sunken structure, 3 by 12 metres, is visible 40 metres to the west of Blackborough House on aerial photographs taken in 1947. It is not depicted on historic mapping and may have been associated with the use of Blackborough House as Quaker training centre during the Second World War. The area is obscured by vehicles and tree cover on more recent aerial photographs, but an irregular depression is visible as a slight earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010.
