Two sub-oval pits, both circa 15m long, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The pits do not correspond with any features in this location on the available historic mapping, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Quarry’ is shown in proximity to the south on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. They are therefore interpreted as post-medieval or early to mid-19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the late-19th century.
