HER Number:MDV127937
Name:Extractive pit north of Woolston, Loddiswell

Summary

An irregularly shaped earthwork pit, interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The extractive pit had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

An irregularly shaped pit, circa 30m long by 20m wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
