Full Description
SS 7611 5013. Small subcircular quarry observed during the survey by the National Trust in 2003 to the north of Kipscombe Farm. The quarry is approximately 6 metres by 5 metres by up to 3 metres high was cut into the hillside at the northern edge of the enclosed land. [1] The quarry is not depicted on the Countisbury Tithe Map, nor on the 1st or 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey maps. It therefore appears to either predate or post-date these maps, although as no earthworks are depicted it is likely to be a later feature. [2-4]
