Harrow Barrow granite quarry. Part of Haytor Quarries developed by George Templer from 1813. Ceased in use in late 1850's. Reached by branch of the granite tramway. May have been earliest workings at Haytor and used for making the tramway setts.

Emsworthy Rocks East Quarry, Harrow Barrow. Small group of quarries on the north side of the eastern Emsworthy outcrop where work focused on four modest faces. All four faces were served by spurs from the tramway. Overburden is dumped adjacent to the working areas. A small outlying quarry associated with this group was connected by a well worn track but may have been unsuccessful judging by the huge quantity of waste stone dumped in and around the working.
