Former extractive pits of possible post-medieval to mid-19th century date are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, at Coombeshead Farm, Hemyock. The northern of the two earthworks is sub-circular in shape and measures approximately 28m in length by 25m in width. It is symbolised as a pond on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1880’s-90’s and on modern digital mapping. That to the south is elongated in shape, measures approximately 30m in length by 11m in width. It corresponds with a copse on the First Edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey map and as an earthwork on modern digital mapping. This supports the interpretation that the extractive pits had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century.
