An earthwork depression is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is situated within an orchard plot recorded on the Tithe Map, and orchard banks are also visible as earthworks within this plot (MDV131447). The orchard passed out of use by the late 19th century.
The depression is interpreted as an extractive pit, which could be of post-medieval date and planted as an orchard after extraction ceased, or could be of mid to late 19th century date following the removal of the orchard.
