This is a small quarry for granite presumably for building locally (for example at Wray Barton). Waste material scattered in the quarry has feather and tare narks from splitting which implies a date post 1800. The wood bank which runs across Steward Wood from SX 7699 8499 to SX 7714 8507 and the wall in Wray Cleave which runs between SX 7750 8405 and SX 770 8394 are both marked on the Tithe Map of 1840, the former dividing Pepperdon Hall Coppice (south of wall) from 'coppice and plantations' and the latter separating Wray Cleave Stone (north of wall) from Wray Cleave Warren.
