Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.
A small roughly circular pit circa 20 metres in diameter was visible as an earthwork and cropmark respectively on aerial photographs of 1967 and 1989.
The visible earthworks did not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the 19th century mapping available to the survey. This supports the interpretation that the visible earthworks are the remains of an extractive pit that had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century.
The pit was not visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and might have been levelled.
