Site of Roman quarry pit
Site of Roman quarry pit
The overgrown nature of this Roman quarry hides its other feature, the mysterious Kenwardstone, a slab of saracen stone with wave-like markings on its surface. There is much conjecture as to how these carvings were formed, some say they were manmade while others suggest they are the result of weathering. See: LinkExternal link
