| Name: | Extractive pits south-west of Stubberlands Bungalow, Gulworthy |
|---|
Summary
Sub-oval and irregularly shaped pits, interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century extractive pits that are possibly associated with West Crebor Mine, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured 2010 and 2013. The extractive pits had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.

The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location. An earthwork labelled as ‘Sand Pit’ and structures labelled as ‘West Crebor Mine (Copper)’ are depicted in proximity to the north.

Sub-oval and irregularly shaped pits, between 22-45 metres long, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Sand Pit’ and structures labelled as ‘West Crebor Mine (Copper)’ are depicted in proximity to the north.
They are therefore interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century extractive pits that are possibly associated with West Crebor Mine (MDV12637), but which had passed out of use by the late 19th century.
