Topographic and photographic survey by G White and M Kendall of WA of a site containing six clay or gravel extraction pits. The overgrown nature of the site meant that it was not possible to determine a definite age for the pits, but the density of the established flora in conjunction with the weathering of the floors and flanks of the pits to a smooth surface suggest an 18th–19th century date.
