An earthwork pit, circa 37 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs from the 1960s, and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is likely to have been one of several extraction pits in this area that became disused before the late-19th century, since no features are depicted here on the available historic maps.
