An irregularly shaped pit, circa 95m long by 50m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2007. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the late-19th century Ordnance Survey map, although earthworks labelled as ‘Catsbridge Mine’ are shown in proximity to the west. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit, or mine which had probably passed out of use by the late-19th century. Some caution should be exercised, and it is also possible the earthwork is of natural origin.
