A former quarry or extractive pit, possibly a marl pit of post-medieval to 19th century date, was visible on aerial photographs of 1947 as an earthwork pit almost 40 metres in diameter, on a hill to the north of Pine Park Road, Honiton. The site of the pit is no longer visible, now developed as housing, and is located under Hill Crescent, circa 130 metres north-west of the former Pinepark farm, as depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map. The pit was not depicted on this historic map, and had therefore probably passed out of use before the 1880s.
