A roughly circular earthwork pit, circa 11 by 14 metres, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is interpreted as the remains of an extractive pit, which seems to have been disused by the late-19th century, since no features are depicted here on the available historic mapping.
