The dip in the land is not a natural feature but is the result of quarrying of iron ore. This was the site of the Harlaxton Quarries No.4 or Hungerton pit, by far the largest of the pits worked. It was opened in 1958 and closed in 1974. There was then a further small scale reopening of the pit between 1977 and 1978.
