A large, roughly circular depression approximately 30 metres in diameter is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs and images derived from Lidar acquired between 1998 and 2012. It is not depicted on the tithe map for Exmouth or the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map and therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 19th century. One of three similar features in close proximity, it is probably the remains of a former quarry or marl pit of post medieval date.
