Full description

Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.

A small circular feature, circa 10 to 15 metres in diameter, and two linear features were recorded from the air in 1984.[1]
Nothing was visible on this steep slope. The circular mark is stated to be a quarry by the land owner. The Tithe Map records "Quarry Park" adjacent to the site.[2]
