Description
The Drayton Parslow Inclosure Map of 1798 shows a gravel pit at this location. Later OS mapping (e.g. 1st editon 6in map surveyed in 1880) notes a sand pit (1, 2).
A post medieval extractive pit 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 a field about 275 metres W of Manor Farm and centred at SP 84876 28261, an irregularly shaped extractive pit is about 6,036 square metres in area. On aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data, the feature remains extant (3-4).
