An earthwork pit, approximately 21 by 12 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. Nothing is depicted in this exact location on late-19th century mapping, and it is interpreted as an extractive pit of at least probable post-medieval date.
