MMO3656 - Post-mediveal quarry northwest of Little Wood Advent (Monument)

A large post-medieval quarry is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork north of Woodavent Farm, Nettlecombe. Centred at approximately ST 0348 3758, the quarry is aligned approximately north to south, and measures 125 metres long by 30 metres wide. It is depicted on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1888, and annotated "quarry", suggesting it was still in use at this time. It lies close to a disused lime kiln (MSO10415), and may have supplied the limestone for this industry.
