Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.
Four sub-oval pits, between 15m to 25m long, are visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. One of the pits corresponds with an earthwork labelled as ‘Old Quarry’ on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the late 19th century and it is likely the remaining pits similarly represent former quarries which had passed out of use by this time. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to dense tree cover at Little Cockington Wood.
