| Name: | Spoil tip north of Foggintor Quarry |

Summary
Wide spoil tip along the western side of the track to Foggintor - formerly a tramway course (MDV134438). It measures, by estimate, 30m (north-south) by 25m and is over 3m in height/depth on its outer (western) side. Its surface is fairly level with no obvious tramway sett or sleeper marks, although it is quite likely that it was formed from spoil conveyed here in wagons along the tramway. A grassed-over, uneven depression in the ground may signify that it was quarried into at a later date.
