Subtle earthwork depressions are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depressions abut a field boundary first depicted on the First Edition OS map and they correspond with depicted 'old marl pits'. The depressions are interpreted as marl pits of mid to late-19th century origin, that passed out of use by the end of the 19th century.
