An irregularly shaped pit, circa 110m long and 30m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The pit does not correspond with any features in this exact location on the available historic mapping, although adjacent land parcels 28 and 30 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map are recorded as ‘Higher Kiln Close’ and ‘Old Kiln and Quarry’, respectively, on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. An earthwork labelled as ‘Quarry’ is also shown in proximity to the northwest on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. This supports the interpretation that the earthwork represents a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century quarry which had likely passed out of use by the late-19th century. An earthwork is visible here on the 2020 Ordnance Survey MasterMap.

Ordnance Survey, 2020, MasterMap 2020 (Cartographic). SDV363413.
