Two extraction pits of between post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as earthwork pits on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, at Sevilles Croft. The eastern of the two earthworks is sub-oval in shape, measures approximately 20m in length by 16m in width and abuts, and so likely post-dates, an historic field boundary along its northern edge. That to the west is elongated in shape and measures approximately 25m in length by 11m in width. The earthworks are not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey.
