Monument record TR 26 NE 219 - Millers Lane chalk pit, Monkton
Summary
A large chalk pit is located to the west of Monkton. A small chalk pit was recorded at this location on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map of c.1861. This site is still visible on the 2nd and 3rd edition Ordnance Survey maps of c.1896 to 1922. It is uncertain when the pit was extended to cover the large area that it now covers. On the 4th edition map the pit appears to have slightly extended in size eastwards although it is still just a fraction of the area of the site remianing today.The feature is visible as an earthwork on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 14-AUG-2003.
