A sub-circular pit, circa 24m diameter, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork corresponds with a curvilinear land parcel (274) on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is recorded as ‘Waste in Lower Old Park’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
