The earliest map consulted on which this area is shown as a spoil tip dates to 1989 although the 1960s OS 1:10000 sheet was not located (missing from SYAS set). A much smaller tip is shown on the 1938 OS and it is likely that much of this spoil was deposited in the mid twentieth century. 19th century OS data shows an irregular pattern of probable medieval date. Significant legibility of spoil heap.
