Full Description
A small unlabelled quarry scoop is shown at SS 9926 4410 on the 25 inch 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map. [1] The site is depicted in a similar size on the 2nd Edition map and labelled "old quarry". [2] A much larger area was transcribed during survey of aerial photographs in the 1980s, suggesting the site had been worked in the interim.
