Summary
Irregularly shaped pits interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Six irregularly shaped pits, between 25m to 90m long, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. Two of the earthworks recorded to the east and west correspond with plots 849 and 1155 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, which are recorded as ‘Quarry in Quarry Park’ and ‘Waste’, respectively, on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century quarries which had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
