| Name: | Extractive pits at Blackdown Farm, Loddiswell |

Summary
Earthworks of four irregularly shaped pits with outer banks, interpreted as possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits, with associated spoil heaps, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The pits had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Four irregularly shaped pits, between 6m and 12m long, with corresponding outer banks are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any pit or bank features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pits, with associated spoil heaps, which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
