An earthwork pit, circa 50 x 35 metres in extent, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. Given the evidence for the extraction industry on Roborough Down, it is interpreted as an extractive pit of medieval or post-medieval date.
