Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
The quarry is not shown on the OS surveyors' drawings of 1803-4 but may have existed at this time. It is shown on the the 1841 Paignton Tithe map and apportionment [1]. By 1865 the quarry has been enlarged and is shown on the OS County Series 1:2500 (Surveyed 1861) contained on a Torbay HBSMR GIS layer. By 1904 it is shown on the OS First Revision 1:2500 as 'Old Quarry' The quarried area is oval-shaped, c. 70m x45m. A limekiln (SX8rNE/96/1) is situated on its north side.
The site was the subject of an archaeological assessment in March 2001 as it came within the footprint of a development proposal [2]
