Three post medieval extractive pits are visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and were mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located about 130 metres ESE of Hogshaw Hill Farm on Conduit Hill and centred at SP 74657 22075, the three irregularly shaped pits are almost contiguous and cover an area of about 1,289, 846 and 571 square metres. The extraction sites appear to cut into a block of medieval and/or post medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, so post-dating it (1-2).
