An oval shaped earthwork depression circa 45m by 20m is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depression corresponds with one of two old marl pits depicted on the First and Second Edition OS maps. The depression is interpreted as a marl pit of post-medieval to 19th century, that ceased extraction by the end of the 19th century.
