An elongated pit, circa 30 metres long by 13 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
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 that may have passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
