A possible infilled quarry pit is visible as an irregularly shaped earthwork, circa 9 by 14 metres in size, on aerial photographs taken in 1989. No features are depicted in this location on the historic mapping and the cropmark may have formed over a small medieval or post-medieval quarry that fell out of use prior to the late 19th century. However it is only visible on a single run of aerial photographs, so interpretation is cautious.
