A roughly kidney-shaped hollow circa 40 by 30 metres in size was visible as an earthwork on the south-facing combe slopes north-east of Langford, on aerial photographs and digital images derived from lidar data. The hollow is probably evidence of small scale quarrying or mineral extraction; evidence for manganese extraction has previously been recorded to the south-west at Lagford. A larger but smaller hollow some 110 metres to the east might be further evidence of this previously important local industry. ry pit.
