Probable quarry pits. Ogston in 1931 recorded two pits, one 17 by 15 feet broad, and 3.5 feet deep, the other smaller. Excavation of the former showed no sign of human occupation. OS visit 1967 found no trace of the smaller pit and concluded that the larger was probably the result of quarrying for the nearby road, or a natural hollow. The two pits are visible on 1970 aerial photographs (CUCAP unreferenced) together with at least four further pits along the crest of a ridge 100 m to the southeast. Field survey in 1996 found these to be of man-made origin and to measure about 4 m in diameter and 1m deep with the remains of a spoil-tip formed from the upcast. They were stable and overgrown with heather and trees, and may be shooting-hides.
