An irregular earthwork pit, up to circa 20 by 30 metres in extent, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, and is interpreted as the remains of an extractive pit of post-medieval date that became disused before the late-19th century. It may be associated with the ‘Old Gravel Pit’ depicted on late-19th century mapping circa 37 metres to the south.
