Four possible small quarry pits of probable modern date are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards, on the steep coastal slopes above the coastal cliffs to the south of Inner Hope. Two of the pits appear to target low mounds identified as possible round barrows of Bronze Age date. At least one pit appears to have been enlarged between 1945 and 2007.
