It corresponds with a plot recorded as 'Pit Close' on the Tithe Map, under woodland cultivation. It corresponds with an area of woodland and scrub on the First Edition OS map and subsequent historic and modern maps. The depression is interpreted as an extractive pit of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that ceased extraction prior to circa 1840.
