Three sub-circular hollows are visible as shallow earthworks circa 20m to 50m across on the north-west facing slopes east of Mistletoe Farm, Chudleigh. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century historic maps available to the survey and are probably the remains of extractive pits of post-medieval to 19th century date that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
