Name: | Extractive pit north of Butterford Mill, North Huish |

Summary
A sub-oval earthwork, interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The extractive pit had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

A sub-oval pit, circa 40m long by 20m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. 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, but does partly correspond with a curvature in the field boundary shown in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. 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.
