Summary
An irregular pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar survey flown in 2007. It is likely to be a modern or post-medieval quarry, perhaps an earlier antecedent to a nearby larger quarry marked on the 1904-1906 Ordnance Survey mapping. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.

An irregular pit, approximately 20 by 11 metres, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar survey flown in 2007. It is likely to be a post-medieval or modern quarry, the use of which predates the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping, and is perhaps an earlier antecedent to a larger quarry circa 85 metres to the east that is marked on the 1904-1906 Ordnance Survey mapping. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.
