Irregularly shaped earthwork pits and ditches, covering an area of over a hectare, are visible on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They are not depicted on the available historic mapping and they have been interpreted as the remains of post-medieval or nineteenth century chalk pits and spoil heaps, associated with the nearly lime kiln (MDV45768).
