An extractive pit of probable post-medieval to 19th century date is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 near the summit of a south-west facing ridge north-east of Higher Spriddlescombe.
The visible earthworks correspond with an un-annotated pit depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s First Edition 25inch map, and therefore predates circa 1880.
The pit remains identifiable as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
