A pit, probably an extractive pit or small quarry is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as an irregularly shaped earthwork circa 25m by 34m across, cut into the north-west facing slope north of Dunwell Farm.
The pit does not correspond with a quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. It therefore possibly ceased to be worked by the late 19th century.
A ditch or hollow extending to the south-west from the pit may be the remains of an access track. The track appears to connect with the line of a former catch-meadow gutter, which might support the interpretation of a 19th century date.
The pit remains identifiable as a subtle earthwork hollow on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
