Not much info on the web about this quarry, but given its small size it was likely a small 19th‑ or early‑20th‑century sandstone extraction site, probably used for local building stone, walling, and track construction rather than large‑scale commercial quarrying. Views really are magnificent from the footpath that descends north into Farndale.
