Possible former quarries of post-medieval to modern date are visible as earthwork pits on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at Venlake Cross. The three adjacent earthworks are sub-circular in shape, with the largest of the three measuring up to 28m in diameter. The earthworks are located in an area where numerous similar such features are recorded on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, including two much larger-scale quarries in close proximity to both the north and south. The three earthworks remain visible on Lidar-derived images of between 1998-2014.
