A substantial linear depression is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork in fields south of Five Cross Way, Brayford, and is most likely the remains of a backfilled quarry or extractive pit. The feature is not depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it was abandoned and not visible prior to publication in 1889. A Medieval date seems most likely. Other details: Monument Number 1488809.
