A former extractive pit of possible medieval to 19th century date was visible on digital images derived from lidar data acquired between 1998 and 2014 as a shallow irregularly shaped earthwork pit, up to approximately 60 metres wide, on the south-east facing slopes of a spur below Wolverstone Moor, Awliscombe parish.
The pit is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map or Tithe Map for Awliscombe parish, supporting the interpretation that the pit had probably passed out of use prior to the 1850s. It is circa 125 metres upslope of a former marl pit that is depicted on the historic OS map (and therefore has not been transcribed by the survey), and might have had a similar function.
