Two large earthwork depressions are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. Both depressions are situated within a plot recorded as 'Barn Orchard' in the Tithe Survey. One of the depressions corresponds with an old marl pit within the orchard, depicted on the First and Second Edition OS maps. The orchard passed out of use by the mid-20th century. The depressions are interpreted as marl pits of post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840, after which it established as an orchard.
