An earthwork pit of a possible former post-medieval to 19th century extraction pit is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of Grove Well Farm. The earthwork is crescent in shape, measures approximately 48m in length by 20m in width and is located within the site of a copse which is depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, the trees likely being established within the pit followings its abandonment. The crescent shaped nature of this pit is slightly unusual given the shape of other extraction pits in the area and it is likely that it has been subject to infilling alluded to elsewhere in this record. The earthwork was not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey owing to tree cover here.
