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 in 2008, on west facing slope to the northeast of Goodall’s Farm, Hemyock. The large irregular shaped earthwork, possibly made up of smaller intercutting pits, measures approximately 110m in length by 70m in width. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the available 19th century mapping. This supports the interpretation that the extractive pit had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century.
