The feature comprises an area of shallow extraction up to 102m long by up to 63m wide on top of a low rise of ground; the heathland on which the features are situated in 1946 (part of Canford Heath) is typically scarred by widescale post medieval extraction, which is characteristically shallow but with some areas of deeper extraction also present.
