Monument record MDO25273 - North-east of Blagdon Barn, extractive pits

A group of three subsquare hollows partially or fully surrounded by outer banks are visible as cropmarks and earthworks on aerial photographs {1-2}. They are considered likely to be the site of post medieval extractive pits. Located within the area of the Winterbourne Abbas Corridor Geophysical Suvey in 2017 (EDO7852) but unclear if detected.
