Full description

The visible earthworks do not correspond with any depicted pits.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any depicted pits. It falls within a plot depicted as an orchard.
Environment Agency, 1998-2014, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution), LIDAR ST1102 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 30-SEP-2014 (Cartographic). SDV359177.
Two irregularly shaped pits were visible as earthworks.

Two curvilinear pits, circa 40 and 50 metres across, were visible as a contiguous earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014.
The visible earthworks did not correspond with any pits features depicted in this location on the 19th century mapping available to the survey. However, the south-western pit did fall within a plot depicted as an orchard on the OS First Edition 25 inch map.
This supports the interpretation that the visible earthworks are the remains of extractive pits that had passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century and were, in part, subsequently utilised as an orchard.
