Three oval pits up to 25m across were visible as earthworks and cropmarks on digital images derived from lidar data of 2013 and aerial photographs of 2016 as earthworks and cropmarks to the north of Amberly Farm, Chudleigh. Two of the visible features correspond with former quarries depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. The pits are probably old limestone quarries associated with a former limekiln depicted to the south. They are not depicted on the Tithe Map for Chudleigh and might therefore date to the period circa 1840 to 1880.
