Full Description
A quarry of probable post-medieval date is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork, approximately 350 metres to the southwest of West Lyn Farm, at circa SS 7202 4817. The earthwork is not marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1889, but can be seen to cut through the earthworks of strip fields of probable medieval date and therefore may be post-medieval in origin.
