A large oval depression is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depression is circa 60m by 50m. It corresponds with an area of possible depicted scrub in the corner of a plot recorded as 'Five Acres and Pit' on the Tithe Map (Plot 2025). An 'Old Marl Pit' is depicted here on the First and Second Edition OS maps. The depression is interpreted as a marl pit of post-medieval to early 19th century origin, that ceased extraction by the late 19th century.
