The depression is situated within a plot recorded as 'Marl Pit Moor' in the Tithe Survey. It corresponds with a nursery plot set within a woodland depicted on the First Edition OS map and maps thereafter. The depression is interpreted as a marl pit of post-medieval origin, that ceased extraction by the end of the 19th century, after which it was established as a nursery.
