A shallow hollow is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as an irregularly shaped earthwork up to circa 150m across, on the south-facing slopes to the north-east of Cotts Cottage, Combe, Ideford. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but does fall within a plot listed as Quarry Lears (Plot 36) on the Tithe Map for Ideford. This might support the interpretation that the slight earthworks are evidence of a former quarry, probably a sandstone quarry, potentially of medieval to 19th century date.
The quarry might have been accessed by a former road, visible as an earthwork hollow to the west (MDV123559). A probably 20th century quarry is recorded as a small pit immediately to the south-east (MDV52185).
