A sub-circular pit, circa 30m long by 27m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The eastern edge of the earthwork corresponds with a prominent kink in a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, within land parcel 167 which is recorded as an orchard. The earthwork likely therefore predates the laying of this field boundary and the establishment of the orchard. It is interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early 19th century which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
