Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.
Two possible former extractive pits of probable post-medieval to 19th century date were visible on aerial photographs of the 1980s and 1990s as earthworks up to circa 40 metres across on the east-facing slopes of a narrow spur 400 metres north of Rodway Cross, Stockland parish.
The earthworks did not correspond with any pits or quarries depicted on the Tithe Map for Stockland or the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map, which might support the interpretation that the pits had passed out of use prior to the 1840s. The pits remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data and therefore probably survive as shallow earthworks.
