A possible quarry of probable post-medieval to modern date was visible on images derived from lidar as a small earthwork pit on the east facing slopes of Dolbury Hill in Killerton Park. The pits is irregularly shaped and measures up to circa 16 metres in diameter. The earthwork is obscured from view by dense woodland planting but is visible on images derived from lidar. It is probable that the quarry pit cut the earthworks of Dolbury Hillfort.
