Earthwork pits of possible former post-medieval to 19th century extraction pits are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the southeast of Wytch Farm. The two adjacent sub-oval shaped earthworks measure approximately 22m in length by 16m in width (northeastern earthwork) and approximately 15m in length by 12m in width (southwestern earthwork). The earthworks are located in an area where a number of similar such features have been recorded during this survey. The earthworks were not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey owing to tree cover here.
