Summary
A sub-rectangular pit, interpreted as a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.

A sub-rectangular pit, circa 18m long by 10m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the late 19th century Ordnance Survey First Edition map. It is interpreted as a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit, possibly associated with mine workings which characterise much of this area. The pit had probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century and is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
