Summary

A possible trackway is visible as an earthwork on images derived from Lidar data flown between 2001 and 2010 and on earlier aerial photographs. It may be associated with the disused Sequer's Bridge Quarry which was operating in the late nineteenth century.

A curvilinear ditch or hollow way is visible on images derived from Lidar data captured between 2001 and 2010. It appears to link the southern part of Sequer’s Bridge Quarry to the buildings to the east (MDV76473). Its location corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the mid nineteenth century Tithe map, although as it is not depicted on the late nineteenth century map it may not have been a substantial earthwork at this point. It is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs from the 1960s, although it may pre-date this as earlier aerial photographic coverage is limited. It is tentatively interpreted as a routeway to access the quarry and is therefore likely to have a late nineteenth or early twentieth century date. It probably survives as a substantial earthwork.
