Summary
Earthworks of two irregularly shaped earthwork pits and curvilinear banks, interpreted as post-medieval or early 19th century quarries with associated spoil heaps, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The quarries had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

Earthworks of two adjacent irregularly shaped pits, circa 40m and 80m long, with associated curvilinear banks, circa 8m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although an earthwork labelled as ‘Quarry’ is shown in proximity to the northwest. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as possible post-medieval or early 19th century quarries, with associated spoil heaps, which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.
