Monument record MDO23288 - Old Quarry, Lanehouse Rocks, Weymouth

An old quarry is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1864, partially disappeared by 1938. A pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of this location at Wyke Regis, Weymouth. It is considered likely to be the partial remains of the post medieval quarry described above. A similar feature is located just to the east (MDO29826) and may be contemporary with it.
