An irregularly shaped earthwork pit, circa 60m long by 15m wide, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken 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 probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
