Earthworks of an oval pit, circa 27m long by 18m wide, with two outer banks, circa 9m wide, 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 mapping. They are interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, with associated spoil heaps, which had possibly passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
