Possible extraction pits of likely post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1947 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the southeast of Minsons Hill Farm. The two earthworks are oval in shape and are situated within woodland on moderate northeast facing slope. The eastern of the two earthworks is occupied by a structure on the 2016 Ordnance Survey MasterMap. Similar such earthworks have been recorded along the edge of this woodland to the southwest and appear to represent a series of small, short-lived workings. Sand pits are also depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, which gives a good indication as to the likely use of these earthworks. They are obscured by tree cover on aerial photographs after 1947.
