Possible extraction pits of between post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the northwest of Rosshayne Farm. The north-eastern of the two earthworks is sub-oval in shape and measures approximately 47m in length by 41m in width, with that to the south-west being oval in shape and measuring approximately 42m in length by 23m in width. The possible extraction pits remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. Some caution should, however, be exercised as to the nature of these earthworks and it is possible they are of natural origin.
