A roughly circular pit almost 30 metres in diameter, probably the remains of an extractive pit, was visible on digital images derived from lidar data as an earthwork on the south-east facing slopes to the south of Dumpdon Hillfort, Luppitt Parish.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pit or quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map and the pit therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 1880s.
