A shallow pit, possibly the remains of a former quarry or extractive pit of post medieval date, is visible on aerial photographs and digital images derived from lidar data as an earthwork on a ridge top to the west of Crockenhayes Farm, Broadclyst. The pit is roughly circular in shape and measures approximately 28 metres in diameter. It does not correspond with any map features depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map but coincides approximately with a possible pond shown on the Tithe Map for Broadclyst. This might support the interpretation that the quarry passed out of use some time prior to circa 1840 and the resultant pit was subsequently used as a pond, possibly a dew pond.
