A former extractive pit of possible post-medieval to mid-19th century date is visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2008, to the south of Ringdown Cottage Farm, Clayhidon. The sub-oval shaped earthwork measures approximately 70m in length by 35m in width. The earthwork pit is located within land parcel 104 on the Parish Tithe map and is recorded as ‘Pit Close’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. An earthwork feature is also shown in this location on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1880’s-90’s. This supports the interpretation that the extractive pit had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
