A possible quarry of post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork pit and bank on aerial photographs from 1941 onwards and images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, northeast of Slapton. The pit is sub-oval in shape and measures approximately 17m in length with a partial earthwork bank possibly derived from the quarry upcast material. A circular artillery crater of Second World War date is visible as an earthwork pit and bank to the immediate northwest. The quarry remains visible as an earthwork pit on images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012.
