Traces of ancient mud cracks
The boulder shown in the foreground measures about 7m by 4m, and is located in NS3678 : Carman Quarry. It bears a curious pattern of raised ridges; for a description of these, and for a much closer look at the surface of the boulder, see NS3678 : Traces of ancient mud cracks.
The former Fairy Knowe Quarry :: NS3779
Red sandstone was quarried here. The site was formerly a small hill called Fairy Knowe, but it became a quarry at the end of the nineteenth century; later maps call it Carman Quarry. It has long been disused. See Link
for an annotated satellite view putting this site in its geological context. See Link and Link (in a Geograph article) for more on the quarry, the Fairy Knowe, and old traditions about this site and Havoc Hole.
