An earthwork pit, circa 50 metres across, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. It is named as Langham’s Pit and depicted as an area of scrubby ground on the early-20th century mapping. It is likely that this was a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit that became disused by the start of the 20th century.
