A D-shaped pit circa 22m by 18m in size is visible as an earthwork aerial photographs of 1999 on the north-east facing slopes south-west of Venn.
The pit is interpreted as the remains of a small quarry or extractive pit of post-medieval to early 19th century date.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any feature depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey and therefore probably passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
The pit remains identifiable as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
