Irregularly shaped hollows or pits are visible as shallow earthworks up to circa 25m wide and 75m long, on the north-west facing slope to the east of the drive approaching Higher Well Farm from the south.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pits depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map, although a small quarry is depicted south of the road (MDV3092).
The visible earthworks are interpreted as the remains of quarries or extractive pits of post-medieval to 19th century date that probably ceased to be used prior to circa 1880.
The pits remain identifiable as subtle earthworks on digital visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
