An approximately circular shaped depression is visible as a subtle earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 west of Widcombe Barton. The depression corresponds with a curving projection in an east to west orientated field boundary depicted on the First Edition OS map and on maps thereafter. A stream or drain is depicted following the boundary from the mid-20th century onwards flowing from west to east. The depression is interpreted as a mid to late 19th century extractive pit.
