Field Visit (21 March 2012)
This quarry is situated on the NE edge of the scheduled area, where it has been cut into the S end of a N to S orientated ridge. It measures up to about 6.6m across and 1.5m in depth and field-cleared stones, probably from the once cultivated ground immediately to the W, have been dumped into its interior.
