A roughly triangular pit up to circa 20 metres across was visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. A possible spoil mound up to 12 metres wide was visible to the west of the pit.
The visible earthworks correspond with a plot containing a small area of woodland or copse and a pond depicted on the OS First Edition 25 inch map. Relict extractive pits were often utilised as ponds and woodland once they had passed out of use. This supports the interpretation that the visible earthworks are the remains of an extractive that pit had passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century and was subsequently utilised as woodland.
