A post-medieval brickfield is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located in Kiln Spinney and centred at SP 66498 37300, the irregular brickfield covers an area of about 47,421 square metres and contained a brick kiln, lime kiln, smithy and other buildings, inlcusing a large U shaped building that was likely the brick drying shed. On aerial photographs taken in 1946, a smaller and possibly domestic building and the smithy remained extant, the latter being demolished by 1967 and the former being demolished between 1967 and 1973 (5-9).
