Summary
Irregularly shaped earthworks of a pit with outer bank, interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early 19th century quarry and associated spoil heap, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The quarry had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century.

Irregularly shaped earthworks of a pit, circa 41m long by 35m wide, with outer bank, circa 15m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. 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. An earthwork labelled as ‘Old Quarry’ is, however, shown in proximity to the west on the late 19th century Ordnance Survey First Edition map. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as a post-medieval or early 19th century quarry with associated spoil heap which had likely passed out of use by the mid to late 19th century. Some degree of caution should be exercised as it is also possible the earthworks are of natural origin.
