Summary
Earthworks of two sub-oval pits with outer curvilinear banks, interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century quarries with associated spoil heaps, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The extractive pits had likely passed out of use by the mid to late-19th century.

Earthworks of two sub-oval pits, circa 18m and 20m long, with outer curvilinear banks, circa 2m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any pit or bank features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits, with associated spoil heaps, which had passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
