Name: | Extractive pit northwest of Lower Brimble Brook, Sydenham Damerel |

Summary
A curvilinear earthwork pit, interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2007. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.

A curvilinear pit, circa 65m long by 35m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2007. 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. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit which had probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
