A quarry of probable post-medieval to 19th century date is depicted on 19th to 20th century maps and is visible as an earthwork under tree cover on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The quarry remains obscured by trees but is identifiable as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
As the pit is depicted on historic maps the earthwork was not transcribed by the survey.
