A quarry is visible aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The quarry is marked as ‘Old’ on the 1880 OS 1st Edition 1:2500 map. Abutting its SE edge is a straight, cut feature 80m long. It is possible that this is the remains of a track or tramway for the quarry.
