Disused gravel pits depicted at north-western end of common, to south of Common Farm (now haulage company site) on Ordnance Survey 1:10560 1890 map. Both features still shown on modern Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map, however, only the larger eastern pit, which measures up to circa 4 metres deep, was seen during field visit. A disused rendered brick water tank lies on east side of the pit, circa 2 metres square by 1.25 metres high, probably related to former Common Farm. Site located on plateau. Gorse/bramble/open trees within and around pit.
