A roughly oval pit circa 80 and 32 metres across was visible as an earthwork within Buttermoor Copse, Yarcombe Parish.
The visible earthworks fall within the area of the woodland as depicted on the OS First Edition 25 inch map. This supports the interpretation that the visible earthworks are the remains of an extractive pit that had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century and was subsequently reused for woodland. The earthworks remained obscured from view by dense woodland on aerial photographs in 2014.
