| Name: | Extractive pits within Warren Plantations, Bickleigh |

Summary
A sub-circular pit and an irregularly shaped pit are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019. They are interpreted as possible post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pits that had probably passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

A sub-circular pit and an irregularly shaped pit, circa 5 metres and 20 metres long respectively, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019.
The earthworks are situated within land parcel 657 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, which is recorded as ‘Warren Plantation’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment.
The pits do not correspond with any pit features on this map, or on later available historic maps.
They are therefore interpreted as possible post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pits that had probably passed out of use by the mid-19th century, by which time the area had been given over to a plantation.
