An oval pit, circa 20m long by 13m wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1955 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted 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.
