This study was commissioned by the landowner on behalf of Natural England as part of a Higher Level Environmental Stewardship Agreement Scheme and produced by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council.
Background
There are number of small quarries distributed across the project area, usually the result of needing stone for the erection of buildings or perhaps for hedging stone. This quarry is within the landholding but out of the study area, and has been included solely for contextual reasons. It is first shown (unlabelled) on the 1867 and later maps (Fig 9). It probably functioned to provide building stone for the locality, possibly Tavistock.
Survey
The site has not been surveyed and is out of the study area. The owner states it has been let to another person.
Significance
N/A
Recommendations
