Earthworks of a circular pit, circa 18m diameter, with outer bank, circa 15m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the available 19th century mapping. They are interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit or quarry, with associated spoil, which had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery and have possibly since been levelled.
