A marl pit with associated access track of post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as an earthwork pit and cutting on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the south of Lower Pithayne Farm. The marl pit is oval in shape, measures approximately 43m in length by 29m in width and is partly depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance survey map. It is also depicted on the 2016 Ordnance Survey MasterMap. A linear, northeast to southwest aligned earthwork cutting of a trackway with partial earthwork bank presumably provided access to the pit from the main road. Earthworks remain visible here on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
