An 'old clay pit' marked on the modern map - see Appendix A: Site Survey No. 5 - is evident on the 1841 Tithe Map where it is numbered 877. The relevant Apportionment describes this feature (which clearly must pre-date 1841) as 'Pond in Pit Close'. It again appears on the 6" 1st edition 1891 and 25" 2' edition 1905 Ordnance Survey plans - see Figures 7 and 11.
