An extraction pit of probable post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, within Squabmoor Plantation. The former clay or gravel extraction pit is sub-oval in shape, measures approximately 22.5 metres in length by 15.5 metres in width and is located within an area dominated by similar such pits, many of which are depicted on historical mapping. Owing to the dense tree coverage within Squabmoor Plantation, the extraction pit was not visible on aerial photographs made available to the survey.

An irregularly shaped earthwork pit is visible.

Sims, R., 2020, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

An irregularly shaped earthwork pit, circa 31m by 19m, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is interpreted as a possible post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit.
