Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The earthworks do not correspond with any depicted pit. Two partly correspond with areas of woodland.

The earthworks do not correspond with any depicted pit. One partly corresponds to an area of woodland.

The earthworks are obscured by dense tree cover.

Three probable former extractive pits unknown purpose but of possible medieval to 19th century date were visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data, on the south-west facing slopes of the Umborne Brook combe, south of Ford Plantation, Dalwood parish. Two of the pits correspond with areas of woodland on the Tithe Map for Dalwood. By the publication of the OS First Edition 25 inch map, the only surviving woodland is the largest in the field, marked at circa ST222001. This might support the interpretation that the extractive use of the pits had ceased prior to the mid-19th century, and that the smaller pits had been absorbed into the function of the wider field by the late 19th century. The earthworks remain largely obscured by tree cover on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2014 but can be seen as well-defined earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data acquired in 2016.
