Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.
A large earthwork depression is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 beneath Bullhall Copse. The western part of the depression corresponds approximately to a curve in a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map, where the plot is recorded as coppice woodland. The plot to the south is recorded as 'Bulls Pit Field' (MDV106780). The depression is interpreted as a post-medieval extractive pit, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
