Two quarries of 19th century date are visible as earthwork pits on historic maps of approximately the 1880-90’s and on aerial photographs from 1941 onwards, to the southeast of Stoke Fleming. The northern-most quarry is circular in shape, measures approximately 14m in diameter and is first depicted on historical mapping of the 1880-s-90’s. A second possible quarry, or an associated earthwork pit feature of the main quarry, lies approximately 9m to the south, is semi-circular in shape and measures approximately 16m in diameter. This feature is not depicted on historical mapping and has been infilled by 1951. The northern most quarry remains visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs up to 1976 and has been infilled and converted into a swimming pool by 1983.
