The pit is marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (c.1861) as 'Old Chalk Pit'. The Ordnance Survey historic maps also show two other chalk pits at the farm just to the south of the farm buildings. These features are all marked as 'Old Chalk Pits' on the 1st and 2nd edition maps of c. 1861 -1896. They are visible on the 3rd edition map of c. 1905 but no longer named. Only the chalk pit to the north of the farm buildings is still visible on the modern maps - the site is now a wooded area.

Not present on OS 6" 1st ed map (1872), but named 'Old Chalk Pit' on 2nd ed (1898). Boundary manrked, but not named on 3rd ed (1908). Known as a 'cave' on modern maps. (1)

A chalk pit of Post Medieval date was visible as an earthwork in LIDAR Environment Agency DTM 07-DEC-2017. The extant earthwork has a large soil heap on its floor. This feature was mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (2)
