Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2016, Backlog Recording of the Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Survey (Personal Comment). SDV359374.

The quarry is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1953-69 National Grid A edition imperial map and so is more likely to be mid-20th century in date, rather than post-medieval. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
