Full Description
Site previous recorded under NHER 56129 in error.

The quarry pit described above is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs such as (S2) and lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015 (S3). It corresponds to a quarry pit shown on the 1902-1907 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map (S4), but is not shown on the First Edition 6-inch map (S5), indicating that it is probably of modern date. The mapped extent of this record has been amended to reflect its location and extent as visible on the lidar [1], but it has not been mapped.
