| Description | A rapid survey of the quarries was undertaken by J Robertson of SCAU for SCC’s Planning Dept, as part of an ongoing project on Areas of Historic Landscape Value. A small quarry at TQ 203 512 may equate with one shown on Rocque’s map c.1768. The tracks ‘White Road’ and ‘Red Road’ that run past the quarries are holloways and may, therefore, have early origins.
