Holwell Quarry was active in the 19th century and possible earlier. It consists of two large quarries and a smaller pit to the east. A single tramway transported the finished stone to the east. Spoil and overburden were dumped on the north side of the tor in high flat-topped heaps. Five ruined buildings survive at Holwell of unknown function.
