An irregular earthwork pit, 28 by 18 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It corresponds to an area of scrub depicted on the late-19th century mapping and is now mapped as a pond. It is interpreted as the remains of a post-medieval or early modern extractive pit that went out of use by the mid-19th century.
