An earthwork pit of a possible post-medieval to modern marl pit is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the northwest of Battens Farm. The sub-oval shaped earthwork measures approximately 31m in length by 21m in width and forms part of a group of similar such features recorded here as part of this survey. They most likely represent marl pits, a number of which are depicted in close proximity on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The marl pit remains visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998-2014.
