Summary

An earthwork pit, visible on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2014, is interpreted as a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit that went out of use by the early 20th century.

An earthwork pit, circa 20 by 45 metres, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2014. The Tithe or late-19th century maps for this area are not currently available to the project, but no features are depicted in this exact location on the early-20th century mapping. The earthwork is interpreted as the remains of a post-medieval or 19th century former extractive pit that went out of use by the early-20th century.
