Field Visit (24 April 2010 - 1 May 2010)
Three quarries and their accompanying spoil heaps are situated in rough peaty pasture about 50m W of A968 public road. The longest measures about 15m from N to S by 1.5m transversely (HP 59089 03501). Their narrow form suggests they may be chromate quarries which are found widely throughout the area.
