Modern housing built within a former sandstone quarry which is seen on 1st Edition (1855) OS maps. By 1893 it is marked as disused. The quarry may date to the early 18th century as it was around this period that local stone was used more for building construction (Hey 1979, 31). This land would have been on the edge of the medieval townfield associated with Darton. Evidence of this is seen in strip enclosures of the land south of this polygon on historic maps. There is partial legibility of the former quarry but no evidence of the open fields or subsequent strip fields.
