Two earthwork cut features visible on aerial photographs have been interpreted as quarries of post-medieval date. The southern of the two features corresponds to a database record of a quarry and the other to the north is also likely to be part of this record.

The quarry may also be of modern date. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
