An extraction pit of between post-medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southwest of Upottery. The irregular shaped earthwork measures approximately 136m in length by up to 89m in width and is sited on gentle east facing slope. An orchard is depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48, and was likely established here within the extraction pit sometime after its abandonment. The extraction pit remains visible on digital images derived from lidar data capture in 2016.
