A roughly oval possible pit is visible on images derived from aerial photographs of 2011 as a cropmark approximately 30m by 18m in size, to the south-east Huxbear House, Hennock.
The cropmark does not correspond with any pit marked on the 19th century maps available to the survey, being located within a plot depicted as an orchard. It is possibly evidence of a quarry or extractive of post-medieval to early 19th century date.
