A cluster of irregularly shaped earthwork pits, between 15m and 55m long, is visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The pits correspond with land parcels 624 and 627 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which are recorded as ‘Plantation’ and ‘Quarry and Plantation’, respectively, on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. Earthworks labelled as ‘Quarry’ are also shown in proximity to the southeast on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. This supports the interpretation that the earthworks represent post-medieval or early 19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
