An earthwork depression is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depression corresponds with an 'Old Marl Pit' depicted on the First Edition OS map. The depression is interpreted as a marl pit of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that ceased extraction by the late-19th century.
