Three earthwork pits, from 10 to 50 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. They are interpreted as extraction pits, although it is not clear what material was being extracted. They are not depicted on the available late-19th century mapping and presumably went out of use prior to this date.
