Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

A curving oblong earthwork depression circa 135m by 25m is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depression does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps and is interpreted as an extractive pit of post-medieval to 19th century origin. Ditches are visible extending from either end of the depression and may be of natural origin, possibly water movement that has occurred after the creation of the pit.
