A probable quarry of post-medieval to modern date is visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the north of Broadpark Copse. The irregular shaped feature measures approximately 25m in length by 17m in width and is located alongside the edge of a steep west sloping combe. A similar sized quarry, which is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map of between the 1880’s-90’s, is located approximately 82m to the northwest. The site of the quarry remains partly visible as an earthwork pit on aerial photographs of 1989, although has become completely obscured by tree cover by 1999.
