A pit is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a sub-rectangular earthwork up to circa 25m across cut into the south-west facing slopes to the north-west of Kingsbridge.
The pit does not correspond with any pit or quarry depicted on the Tithe Map for Churchstow or the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. It does, however, appear to cut the ditches of a catch-meadow of probable 18th to 19th century date and might therefore be of 19th to early 20th century origin.
The pit remains identifiable as an earthwork hollow on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
