Irregularly shaped earthwork pits are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks are visible as a cluster of intercutting pits which occupy an area of circa 0.28 hectares and have been cut into and across the northern half of Roborough Camp (MDV2366). The earthworks do not correspond with any pit features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as extractive workings of post-medieval or 19th century date which had been abandoned by the mid-19th century.
