The quarry is visible as an expanded earthwork pit on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The original quarry earthwork was destroyed by accelerated expansion rapidly in the post-war years. The extensive pits and spoil spreads of the later 20th century quarry are clearly visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, but are largely obscured from view by tree cover on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2015.
The modern features were not transcribed by the survey.
