- STONE QUARRY (Post Medieval - 1540 AD? to 1900 AD?)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A former stone quarry was sited to the south of Stone Pit Houses, Canwick Road. Undulations in the pasture field north of Heath Farm (east of Stone Pit Houses) may indicate further minor workings. During a watching brief, loose limestone was seen 1m below the road surface (Canwick Road), 100m east of Stone Pit Houses. The absence of stone near the surface under the road may be evidence of quarrying, although a localised variation in the bedrock is more likely.{1}{2}
A quarry is indicated on the County Series map in the field south of Stone Pit Cottages. {3}
