Summary

Dunwell Quarry (Disused) is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map. The pits, associated finger dumps and spiral mounds are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1946, partly obscured by tree cover, and remain clearly identifiable as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.Dunwell Quarry (Disused) is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map.
