The two adjacent earthworks are oval and irregular in shape and measure up to 31m in length. They are located in close proximity to a clay pit and a sand pit depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, as well as a number of similar such features recorded as part of this survey. The former extraction pits are visible as earthwork pits on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
