Two roughly oval pits up to circa 25m across are visible on aerial photographs1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as earthworks on north-west facing slope, circa 550m south-west of Ugbrooke House, Chudleigh. The pits are interpreted as possible limestone quarries of medieval to post-medieval date. The northernmost earthwork remains obscured by tree cover on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2015 but is clearly visible as a pit surrounded by possible upcast material on the lidar derived images.
