Summary
A sub-circular earthwork pit, interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The quarry had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

A sub-circular pit, circa 22m in diameter, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any pit features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Old Quarry’ (MDV46845) is shown in proximity to the west on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. It is therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
