A cluster of irregularly shaped pits, up to 18m long, and mounds, up to 25m long, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

They are interpreted as extractive pits and associated spoil heaps of between medieval to 19th century date.
