Earthworks of a cut feature of a possible extractive pit and a trackway of post-medieval date are visible on aerial photographs.

The trackway and extractive pit were originally recorded as separate entities, although it seems likely they represent associated features and so were recorded as a single monument. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
