A pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 on the north-west facing slopes south of Bittaford. The visible earthwork corresponds with a feature depicted on the Tithe Map for Ugborough and a pit annotated on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map as an ‘Old Quarry’, indicating that the pit had passed out of use by the later 19th-century.
The pit is not identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and has probably been destroyed by the construction of the A38.
The earthwork has not been transcribed by the survey.A pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 on the north-west facing slopes south of Bittaford.
