Field Visit (21 March 2012)
This quarry is situated on the NE edge of the scheduled area and has removed the N end of the low bank that runs NNE from the entrance gap through the NE side of the southerly of the two monastic enclosures. It has been dug into the foot of the slope at the N end of a ridge, probably to provide stone for the track that lies adjacent to the E. It measures at least 15 m in length from NW to SE and is crossed by the fence that defines the edge of the scheduled area.
