| Name: | Extractive pit within Rapes Wood, Bere Ferrers |

Summary
An irregularly shaped pit, interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The extractive pit had probably passed out of use by the mid to late-19th century.

An irregularly shaped pit, circa 12 metres long by 9 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
The earthwork does not correspond with any pit features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps which show this are as comprising woodland.
The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit that had 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 of Rapes Wood.
