Summary
Earthworks of an irregularly shaped pit with sub-oval banks, interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early 19th century quarry, with associated spoil heaps, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The quarry had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Earthworks of an irregularly shaped pit, circa 33m long by 22m wide, with sub-oval banks, circa 9m long, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks correspond with an oval feature shown in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map and on the 2020 Ordnance Survey MasterMap. They are interpreted as a possible post-medieval or early to mid-19th century quarry, with associated spoil heaps, which had likely passed out of use by the late 19th century.
