Two semi-circular pits, circa 22m and 40m long and situated either side of a road, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthworks correspond with two features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. They are interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
