An irregularly shaped quarry or extractive pit approximately 50 by 30 metres in size is visible as a subtle earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2016. The pit is probably of post-medieval to early 19th century date. The southern edge of the pit has probably been truncated by a later plantation track.
