A probable former extractive pit, possibly a gravel pit, of possible medieval to 19th century date was visible on aerial photographs of the 1980s and digital images derived from lidar data as an earthwork hollow on the north-west facing slopes south-west of Cheney’s Farm, Honiton parish.
Roughly oval in shape the feature measures approximately 33 by 17 metres in size. It does not correspond with any feature depicted on the Tithe Map for Honiton which might support the interpretation it had passed out of use prior to the 1840s. That two very similar earthwork pits recorded to the south-east of Cheney’s Farm were used as gravel pits is supported by Tithe Apportionment evidence. The possible pit remains visible on digital images derived from lidar data as a slight earthwork terrace.
