A post medieval sand pit is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located immediately south of Warren Farm and centred at SP 85140 24198, the irregularly shaped pit is about 3,744 square metres in area. The feature is recorded on the 1880 dated 1st edition OS map. On aerial photographs taken in 2022 and recent remote sensing data, the earthwork remains extant (2-5).
