MSO10154 - 19th Century quarry at Larkbarrow Corner (Monument)

The earthwork remains of a 19th Century quarry, SS 8238 4153, lie adjacent to the track 100 metres to the northeast of Larkbarrow Corner. The quarry survives as a roughly circular feature 16 metres in diameter and 2 metres deep at its deepest point, with an entrance and spoil heap on its eastern side. [1] The feature was recorded at 1:2500 scale as part of an archaeological survey of the Larkbarrow area. The survey was carried out by the Exeter office of English Heritage at the request of the Exmoor National Park Authority. A client report was produced as part of the survey work and is available from the NMRC, Swindon.
