A former extractive pit of possible post-medieval to mid-19th century date is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, to the southwest of Lugg’s Farm, Hemyock. The irregular shaped earthwork measures approximately 100m in length by 50m in width. The earthworks correspond with a copse depicted here on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map of the 1880’s-90’s, the trees likely being established within the pit following its abandonment by this time. A cluster of smaller pits visible to the southwest MDV118889 were recorded as separate monuments.
