Summary

Earthworks of possible post-medieval to 19th century extraction pits are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the east of Hayne Cross. These possible small-scale extraction pits remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.

Earthworks of possible post-medieval to 19th century extraction pits are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the east of Hayne Cross. The two small and adjacent rectilinear shaped earthworks both measure approximately 16m in length by 11m in width and are situated in the site of a former orchard, depicted here on the Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48. Other earthworks are visible to the immediate northeast of these features, although have been interpreted as being of natural origin, perhaps caused by erosion from a former stream that was likely situated here. The earthworks recorded here, however, seem to be too regular in shape to be caused by such processes. These possible small-scale extraction pits remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
