Notes about this historic site
1 On the 1842 tithe map, a field centred on the above NGR was called Marl Pit Ground.
2 No other reference to this field could be found but the field now does contain a large pool, surrounded by trees, of amorphous shape, which is quite deep, and which might represent the remains of a quarry.
