Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.
An earthwork depression is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 on the southern slopes of Path Hill. The depression corresponds with woodland depicted on historic maps. Marl pits are depicted both to the northwest and southeast (MDV117109 and MDV117110). The depression is interpreted as a post-medieval extractive pit that ceased extraction by circa 1840, possibly also for marl.
