An irregularly shaped pit, circa 100m long by 25m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The western edge of the earthwork corresponds with a curvilinear feature shown on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, as well as on the 2020 Ordnance Survey MasterMap. It is interpreted as a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the late-19th century. The earthwork is not clearly visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
