An oval or egg shaped earthwork pit, possibly the remains of a former quarry of medieval to post-medieval date, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs and digital images derived from lidar data on the west facing slopes of a hill to the north of Lower Cobden Farm, Whimple.
The pit is over 40 metres long and 20 metres wider, the longest edge aligned downslope. The pit previously abutted the southern edge of a field boundary, as depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map. The boundary was removed by 1946. The pit is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map, but the line of the boundary appears to respect the location of the pit supporting the interpretation that the pit might predate the boundary.
