An approximately circular shaped subtle earthwork depression circa 20m across is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It corresponds with an earthwork depicted on mid-20th century maps, and visible on aerial photographs dating to the 1940s. The depression is interpreted as an extractive pit or quarry of probable early to mid 20th century origin.
