A pit and associated mound are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1946, on the plateau to the north-- east of Ideford Common and west of Colley Lane, Bishopsteignton and Ashcombe. The pit is roughly oval and up to 13m across. The irregularly shaped mound is up to 32m long, following the north-west edge of the pit. The earthworks are interpreted as a probable extractive pit and spoil mound of probable 19th century date. A possible pit remains visible as a slight earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
