Five irregular earthwork pits, the largest circa 37 by 18 metres, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. The largest is depicted as a wooded irregular enclosure on the late-19th century map, and seems to have remained wooded, indicating that the pit was present before the late-19th century. A three-sided feature depicted on the site of one of the other pits may depict the edge of a cut feature. The pits are interpreted as the remains of post-medieval or early modern extraction pits that had ceased operation by the late-19th century.
