A former quarry of probable post-medieval to 19th century date is depicted on 19th to 20th century maps and is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of the 1940s. The quarry remains identifiable as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.
Annotated as ‘Old Quarry’ on the Ordnance Survey 25inch First Edition map, the quarry must have ceased to be used by the 1880s.
As the pit is depicted on historic maps the earthwork was not transcribed by the survey.
