A possible post-medieval to 19th century extraction pit is visible as an earthwork pit with possible associated mound on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, within Stentwood Copse. The possible extraction pit is irregular in shape and measures approximately 140m in length by 66m in width. An irregular shaped mound like feature, perhaps derived from up-cast material from the extraction pit, is visible on its western edge. The feature is located within Stentwood Copse which is depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, the trees possibly being established within the pit following its abandonment. The earthworks should, however, be viewed with some degree of caution and it is also possible they are the result of natural slumping. The earthworks were not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey owing to tree cover.
