Several earthwork depressions are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, one of which is c.35m across and corresponds to an 'Old Marl Pit' earthwork depicted on The First Edition OS map. The Tithe Map records a coppice within a similar shaped enclosure, indicating extraction pre-dates c.1840. An earthwork depression c.40m by 20m is visible to the immediate west, also situated within coppice woodland on historic maps. Smaller pits are visible adjacent, in a former orchard.
