A D-shaped pit circa 15m by 19m across is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946, abutting the eastern edge of a field on the upper slopes of a north-east facing spur to the south-east of Bigbury.
The pit is interpreted as the remains of a small quarry or extractive pit of post-medieval to early 20th century date.
The pit remains identifiable as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
