Summary
Irregularly shaped pits, interpreted as post-medieval or early to mid-19th century quarries, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The northern of the two pits is shown and labelled as 'Quarry' on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map.

Irregularly shaped pits, circa 60m long and 40m long and located either side of a road, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The northern of the two pits corresponds with an earthwork labelled as ‘Quarry’ on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. They are therefore interpreted as post-medieval or early to mid-19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the late 19th century.
