A possible former extractive pit of probable post-medieval to 19th century date was visible on aerial photographs of 1947 as an oval earthwork circa 37 by 23 metres in size on the east-facing slopes overlooking Halsdon House, Luppitt parish.
The earthwork did not correspond with any pit or quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map. It is therefore probable that the pit passed out of use at some point prior to the 1880s. The relict earthwork is located between two former clay pits that are depicted on the historic map, and might have been used for a similar purpose, probably from the post-medieval period to the 19th century.
The pit remains clearly visible on digital images derived from lidar data and probably therefore survives as an earthwork.
