An irregularly shaped pit, circa 40m long by 23m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Stert Quarry’ is shown in proximity to the north on the late 19th century First Edition map. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
