Full Description

Site of a former quarry, depicted in this location above Middle Street and to the north-east of South Carlton, on the 1st edition 6" Ordnance Survey County Series map. {1} The quarry is partially visible as a backfilled earthwork on the Bing Maps aerial photographic and Google Maps satellite imagery layers, though trees grow over and largely obscure the northern extent of the site. The quarry would have been dug to extract stone from the limestone cliff here, for likely use as construction material in South Carlton. The exact date of extraction is not certain, but likely dates to some point in the medieval or post-medieval periods. {2}{3}
