clay pit
Potter's material source
A clay pit is an excavation where clay is dug from the ground, typically for making bricks, pottery, or ceramics.
Clay pits may be active mining operations or abandoned sites that have filled with water to become ponds: The old clay pit had become a swimming hole for local kids.
