Name: | Possible Extraction Pit South-West of Dowlands |
---|

An earthwork pit is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998 and 2007. It is cautiously interpreted as an extraction pit that became disused prior to the late nineteenth century.

A probable quarry pit is visible as an elliptical earthwork, circa 33 by 27 metres in maximum visible extent, on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from Lidar data captured between 1998 and 2007. An ‘Old Flint Pit’ is depicted circa 70 metres to the west on the late nineteenth century mapping, but no features are depicted in this location, so any quarry here would probably have passed out of use before the late nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are very likely to survive.
