Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.
A quarry of potential medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the east of Colebrook. The elongated pit is east to west aligned, measures approximately 80m in length by 22m in width and is situated in an area characterised by similar such features. A noticeable kink in a former field boundary first depicted on the parish tithe map may suggest the quarry pit pre-dates it and, as such, may be of potential medieval date. It remains visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs up until 1967, although has been completely levelled and the site re-landscaped as part of Padbrook Park Golf Centre by 1992.
