A gravel quarry of potential medieval to post-medieval date is visible as a largely levelled earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the south of Mill Farm. The gravel quarry is irregular in shape, measures approximately 150m in length by 50m in width and appears to be truncated by an extant roadway first depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. As such, the quarry likely predates construction of this road and may be of potential medieval date. The former quarry remains visible as a slight earthwork pit on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012.

Devon County Council, 2019, Google Earth Aerial Photograph Pilot Project, GE75 (Aerial Photograph). SDV363341.
