A possible post-medieval to 19th century extraction pit is visible as an earthwork pit on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of Old Park. The irregular shaped earthwork measures approximately 75m in length by 50m in width and is located within a copse, adjacent to a stream. Several irregular shaped mounds within the earthwork are visible which may represent dumps of waste material. The nature of these earthworks should, however, be viewed with some degree of caution and it is also possible they are purely the result of natural slumping. The earthworks are largely obscured by tree cover on aerial photographs and other digital images made available to the survey.
