Earthwork pits of probable post-medieval to 19th centuryrn clay pits are visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, at Rawridge Farm. The two adjacent earthworks are sub-oval and irregular in shape and are located in an area where other similar such earthworks have been recorded. Clay pits are also depicted in close proximity on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map and the two earthworks likely pre-date an orchard which is also depicted here on this map. They remain visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014.
