An earthwork pit, approximately 15 by 11 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, and the plot of land is depicted as orchard. It is interpreted as a post-medieval extractive pit which by the late-19th century had become disused and the land turned over to fruit tree cultivation.
