Two small irregular depressions between 9 and 18 metres across are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks are situated in the east facing woodland of Battens Wood.
The earthworks correspond to a quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map and to ‘Old Quarries’ depicted on the Second Edition map. A small earthwork is depicted on mid-20th century maps.
The earthworks are interpreted as extractive pits of mid to late 19th century that ceased to be worked by the early 20th century.
