A semi-circular earthwork pit up to approximately 38 metres in diameter is visible on aerial photographs and other remote sensing images to the south-west of High Peak Plantation, Otterton. It does not correspond with any features depicted on the tithe map for Otterton or the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map but does appear to abut a field boundary on its north-eastern edge. It seems probable that the pit is the remains of a former quarry or extraction pit of post medieval to 19th century date that probably passed out of use prior to the 1840s.
