Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

The visible earthworks do not correspond with any depicted feature.


Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The visible earthworks roughly correspond with a narrow pit, probably a pond.


Environment Agency, 1998-2014, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution), LIDAR ST1101 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 30-SEP-2014 (Cartographic). SDV359177.

An irregularly shaped narrow earthwork pit was visible.


Next Perspectives, 2010, Aerial Photography for Great Britain, Next Perspectives APGB Imagery ST1001 22-MAY-2010 (Aerial Photograph). SDV356259.

The pit is obscured by a dense copse of trees.


Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.

A pond is depicted inthis location.


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

A former extractive pit circa 60 by 25 metres in size was visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014.
The visible earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the Tithe Map for Buckerell, but does match a pond on the OS First Edition 25 inch map. This might support the interpretation that the extractive pit had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century.
