Sub-oval and irregularly shaped pits, between 10m and 35m long, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and 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, which shows this area as woodland. The earthworks are interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits which had possibly passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
