An extraction pit of probable post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the northwest of Glebe Cottges. The sub-oval shaped earthwork measures approximately 32m in length by 25m in width and abuts a former historic boundary along its northwest edge. The extraction pit remains visible as an earthwork pit on Lidar-derived images of 2005, although appears to have been completely levelled by 2010 as part of expansion of Hill Barton Business Park.
