Description
The OS 1st Edition 6in map, surveyed in 1880, shows a trackway alongside the western field boundary leading to an extracitve pit in the middle of the field (B1).
'Gravel Pit' shown on 25-inch OS 1st edition (Bucks 20, surveyed 1880); 'Sand Pit' shown on 6-inch OS (surveyed 1930) (B2).
A post-medieval extractive pit is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located across two fields NE of North End, Stewkley and centred at SP 84406 27761, the irregularly shaped extractive pit is about 3,900 square metres in area and aerial photographs taken in 1944 suggest it was plough levelled by that time and does not appear on OS historic map editions (3).
