Crocker's Pit coppice shown on modern map had same name on 1881 Ordnance Survey map and on Tithe Map/Tithe Apportionment (Tithe Apportionment No. 492). On Tithe Map/Tithe Apportionment fields to north, northeast and east respectively called Little Crockers Pit (Tithe Apportionment No. 491) Furze Crockers Pit (Tithe Apportionment No. 486) and Great Crockers Pit (Tithe Apportionment No. 489). No pit is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1890 map and it may well be that it lies hidden within the coppice. Also recorded on SMR; suggested as possible potters clay site.
