Summary
An elongated earthwork, interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1965 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The extractive pit had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

An elongated pit, circa 55m long by 16m wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1965 and 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. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
