The possible site of a post medieval extractive pit or quarry is visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs (p1). It is not marked on any edition OS map and may therefore be of C19 or earlier origin. It was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme and is sited within an area described as C15th to C18th ‘Barton’ fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
