A possible post-medieval to 19th century clay pit with associated trackway are visible as earthwork pit, ditch and banked features on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southwest of Hayne Cross. The clay pit is symbolised here on the Parish Tithe Map and is labelled as ‘Old Clay Pit’ on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The clay pit is sub-oval in shape and measures approximately 6m in length by 32m in width. A fragmented earthwork ditch of a probable trackway, or possible field boundary, extends from the northern edge of the clay pit towards the northwest where it terminates at a road. The earthwork ditch is partly flanked on both sides by earthwork banks, possibly derived from up-cast material. The earthworks remain visible on infra-red digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2007.
