An irregular earthwork pit, circa 11 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 when this plot of land was in use as orchard.
