The possible site of a post medieval quarry is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1). It is not marked on any edition OS map and may therefore be of C19 or earlier origin. It was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The features are sited within an area described as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon.
