Full description

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.
An oval pit circa 60 by 30 metres in size was visible as an earthwork on aerial photograph of 1982.
The visible earthworks did not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the 19th century mapping available to the survey. This supports the interpretation that the visible earthworks are the remains of an extractive that pit had passed out of use prior to the mid-to-late 19th century.
The pit was not visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and has probably been levelled.
