This feature was cut into the south side of the combe. It is interpreted as a stone quarry.

Noted was a small quarry, which was cut into the side of the combe. [2] A large scale metric survey of the Pinkworthy (or Pinkery) Pond environs was undertaken by Hazel Riley in 2012 as part of the Exmoor Mires Project. A steep scarp 9 metres long and 1.5 metres high lies to the northwest of Pinkworthy (or Pinkery) Pond. This is a small post-medieval stone quarry. [3]
