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

An irregular shape earthwork depression circa 85m by 25m is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The depression corresponds approximately with a coppice plot recorded on the Tithe Map and a small enclosure of woodland on subsequent maps. An earthwork ditch leads from its south-east part and extends to join a former stream or leat, depicted on the Tithe Map, and may be later drainage. The depression is interpreted as a post-medieval to 19th century extractive pit.
