An irregularly shaped shallow pit was visible.

The visible earthwork did not correspond with any depicted quarry or extractive pit.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.

A possible former extractive pit of probable post-medieval to 19th century date was visible on aerial photographs and digital images derived from lidar data as a shallow and irregularly shaped earthwork up to 30 metres across on the north and east-facing slopes overlooking Hawley Bottom, Dalwood parish.
The earthworks did not correspond with any pits or quarries depicted on the Tithe Map for Stockland or the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map. The extractive use of the pit had therefore probably ceased prior to the 1840s. The pit remained clearly visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data and therefore probably survives as an earthwork.
