Two irregularly shaped pits, circa 25m long and 95m long, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are interpreted as possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to tree cover of Moorshead Wood.
