An extraction pit of likely post-medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1947 and 1989, to the north of Lower Sheldon Grange, Sheldon. The elongated earthwork measures approximately 90m in length by 36m in width and abuts, and so likely post-dates, an historic field boundary along its northern edge. The extent of the earthwork is depicted as woodland on the Parish Tithe Map, which likely established following the disuse of the former extraction pit. The earthwork pit is largely obscured by tree cover on recent aerial photographs and digital images made available to the survey. It is located in an area where numerous similar such features have been recorded as part of this survey.
