A possible extraction pit of potential medieval to post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork pit and banked feature on aerial photographs of 1948 onwards, to the north of Newcott Barton. The pit measures approximately 245m in length by approximately 58m in width, with the eastern edge of the feature partly defined by earthwork banks possibly derived from up-cast material. The feature has been cut into the side of moderate east facing slope and the western edge of the feature is depicted as a field boundary on the Parish Tithe Map, which it likely pre-dates. The site of the extraction pit appears to have been re-used as an orchard by this time (MDV115114). The earthworks are visible on digital images captured in 2010.
