Name:Extractive pit southwest of Knowle Farm Bungalow, Bridgerule

Summary

An irregularly shaped pit, interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century extractive pit, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

An irregularly shaped pit, circa 16m long by 12m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. 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.
