Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.
Three irregularly shaped pits, between 8m and 28m in length, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Quarry’ is shown in proximity to the southeast on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. This supports the interpretation that the earthworks represent post-medieval or early 19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
