Features recorded here as part of the Tamar Valley NMP survey have been attributed to this single monument record. This monument record has been created as a parent record to include these features and two records of individual quarries recorded on the HER. The quarries are of likely post-medieval to modern date. It is uncertain whether structures depicted here on the historic maps are associated with this quarry site.
