Three grass-covered quarries are visible on modern aerial photographic imagery (GoogleEarthTM) in an improved pasture field.

Field survey identified the remnants of the former quarries.

(NS 22535, 48326) A roughly circular grass-covered quarry (15m in diameter and 2-3m deep).

(NS 25497 48309) An oval grass-covered quarry (25m by 10m and 1m-1.5m deep).
