Pits are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2018 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 as cropmarks and earthworks on the north-facing slopes east of Leighmoor Cross.
The pits are interpreted as extractive pits of probable post-medieval to 19th century date. They do not correspond with any features depicted on the Tithe Map for Modbury or the Ordnance Survey 25inch First Edition map and therefore probably ceased to be used by the early 19th century.
