Summary
A sub-oval pit, interpreted as a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the early-20th century.

A sub-oval pit, circa 23 metres long by 15 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019.
No earthworks are shown in this location on the available 19th century historic maps, although an oval feature is shown on the early 20th century Second Edition map. An earthwork is also depicted here on the 2021 Ordnance Survey MasterMap.
The earthwork is interpreted as a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit that had probably passed out of use by the early-20th century.
