The transcriptions of a cut feature do not correspond to the grid reference for PRN167339, which should be at circa SS69351297.

The probable site of a post medieval quarry is visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs (p1). The site of the quarry is marked as an area of rough ground on the OS 1st Edition 1:2500 scale map, it may therefore be of early C19 or earlier origin. It was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
