A sub-circular pit, circa 10m diameter, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any pit features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. It is interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
