Numerous small sub-circular and sub-oval pits, between 1.5m to 9m long, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The pits do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic mapping. They are interpreted as possible medieval or post-medieval extractive or prospecting pits.
