Summary
An irregularly shaped earthwork, interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2005 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

An irregularly shaped pit, circa 135m long by 48m wide, is visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2005 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. 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 possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit that had probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
