A roughly rectilinear pit circa 20 metres across is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured from1998 to 2017, under woodland circa 200m north-east of Black Forest Lodge, Kenton. A funnel shaped hollow circa 8m wide may have provided access to the pit from the north-west. A mound circa 18m in diameter on the north-east edge of the pit may be evidence of a spoil heap. The woodland is first depicted, as a plantation, on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map, and the pit therefore predates the late-19th century.
