Full Description
Large quarry pit with an exposed rockface on the south-western end under a field boundary wall. The dump of quarry spoil against the wall footings of the former wall indicates that the quarry already existed when the wall was built sometime before 1847 and spoil was being dumped in the quarry against the wall. Within the spoil heap at the centre of the quarry is a 3.5m wide and 0.5m deep hollow, possibly the site of a lime kiln built into a spoil heap created after the quarry was first dug. (1)
