A former quarry or extractive pit, probably a quarry pit of post-medieval to 19th century date, was visible on aerial photographs of 1947 to 1990s and digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2014 as an earthwork on the south-west facing slopes of Honiton Hill, south of Hale Farm, Honiton. The pit corresponds with an old marl pit depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map, annotated as Old Marl Pit, and has therefore not been transcribed by the NMP survey.
Further pits visible immediately to the west were not depicted on the historic map and have been transcribed.
