The possible extraction pit is sub-oval in shape and measures approximately 33m in length by 18m in width. The southern edge of this pit is partly obscured where it intersects with a linear northeast to southwest aligned field boundary ditch (MDV116401), with the pit possibly post-dating the field boundary ditch.
