Four small circular earthwork pits, each circa 4m across are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. Two possible earthwork mounds are also visible as earthworks adjacent. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps and are situated within a plot recorded as pasture on the Tithe Map and depicted as plantation by the end of the 19th century. The pits are interpreted as possible prospecting pits with spoil heaps of 19th century origin.
