Area of regenerated scrubland on the site of a post-medieval stone quarry which has been partially filled in. There had been small scale stone quarrying in the area in the 17th century but after the 1813 enclosure award was passed the Hon. J.A.S Wortley was allocated Greenmoor and Trunce Commons and saw their potential for large scale extraction. (Crossland 1993, 164). The quarries in the area closed around 1930-40 because of lessening demand for stone (ibid, 168). There is significant legibility of former moorland in the regenerated scrub and also significant legibility of the quarry as the area has not been wholly landscaped. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region).
