The remains of a crane consisting of an iron winch and the broken wooden boom of the derrick, which is recumbent in the pond, are of uncertain date. The crane was still functional in 1946 and a photograph taken in 1964 shows the crane still standing. Stanchions which were once the bases for tensioning cables to secure the crane are visible on the quarry floor. These consist of fixed iron pegs inserted into earthfast granite. Each peg has a loose iron loop threaded through a hole in its exposed section.
