A sub-oval pit, circa 45m long by 35m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthwork corresponds with land parcel 560 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, which is recorded as ‘Waste in Quarry Hill’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. An earthwork labelled as ‘Old Quarry’ (MDV45180) is also shown in proximity to the north on the late First Edition Ordnance Survey map. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
