Plot 1496 was listed as a plantation.

A small sub-rectangular plot was depicted (1496).
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The earthwork does not correspond with any depicted pit or quarry.

Earthwork pits or terracing due to multiple pits were visible.

A former pit or area of pitting was visible as an earthwork.

The earthwork was partly obscured by a tree clump.

An irregularly shaped pit up to 70 metres long was visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and digital images derived from lidar data as an area of irregular earthwork pitting on the south-west-facing facing slopes to west of Shaugh Farm, Luppitt Parish. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit or quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map, but do approximately match the extent of a small plot (1496) on the Tithe Map for Luppitt, listed on the Tithe Apportionments as a plantation. It is therefore probable that a plantation was established on the site of former extractive pits that probably passed out of use some time prior to the 1840s.
