A possible extraction pit of between post- medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork pit on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, on west facing slopes within Claypits Covert. The earthwork is sub-circular in shape and measures approximately 9m in diameter. It’s location within Claypits Covert gives good indication as to the use of this pit. It is located in an area where numerous similar such features have been recorded during this survey and from a walkover survey carried out in 2016 associated with the A30/A303 improvement works between Honiton and Devonshire Inn. The earthwork has been recorded as a child record to parent record MDV114110. It is not clearly visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey owing to tree cover here.
