A pit is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map and annotated as ‘Old Quarry’. The earthwork is visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1950s and remains visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014.
The pit might be the remains of a former quarry or considering the scale of extractive industry in the immediate area, the remains of a prospecting pit of post-medieval to 19th century date.
