A probable pit, possibly a former quarry pit of unknown date, is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards as a sub-rectangular cropmark. The cropmark measures circa 17 by 10 metres in size and is located on a steep south facing slope at circa SS46453826, roughly at the 80 metres OD contour. The possible quarry is not depicted on the Tithe map for Braunton and probably therefore predates 1841.
