A small rectangular pit or quarry, of probable Post Medieval date, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs in a field east of Benton Road, Bratton Fleming. A small mound at the north-western edge of the pit may be an associated spoil heap. The feature is depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map and annotated "old quarry" suggesting it was abandoned prior to publication of the map in 1889. There is no indication as to what material was extracted here, but the first edition map also shows a disused iron mine on the opposite side of the road, and the quarry may have been opened originally as a prospecting pit. Other details: Monument Number 1488821.
