A former quarry pit of likely post-medieval date is marked in this location on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map. Although the specific material being extracted is not specified on the map, it is thought to be either sand or chalk, given other similar pits recorded nearby. {1} Although now largely covered by trees, the site of the former pit can be clearly discerned on recent LiDAR data for this area as extant earthworks. {2}{3}
