A depression circa 15 metres across is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The depression is situated in a field on low-lying topography adjacent to the River Tamar to the south-west of Commons Gate.
The depression does not correspond with any features depicted on the available 19th century maps. The plot is recorded as ‘Tetcott Ham’ in the Tithe Survey.
The depression is interpreted as an extractive pit of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that ceased to be worked prior to the late-19th century.
