Probable quarry pits of possible medieval to post-medieval date were visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data, adjacent to Pennsylvania Road in Stoke Woods. A curvilinear ditch of linear quarry up to 10 metres wide and approaching 60 metres in length abuts the south side of the road at circa SX92949601. It is possible this curvilinear pit is evidence of an earlier feature, such as a small ditch defined enclosure of later prehistoric date, but the proximity of the probable quarry pits to the east makes this interpretation less likely.
Two smaller pits, circa 13 to 28 metres wide, were located immediately to the east, one either side of the road.
