A pit is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as an oval earthwork up to circa 9m across cut into the north-west facing slope between Trehele Farm and Stoliford Farm, Modbury.
The pit corresponds with a quarry depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. The quarry is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey Second Edition 25inch map and therefore probably ceased to be worked by the early 20th century.
The pit remains identifiable as a subtle earthwork hollow on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 and has probably been near levelled.
