Old quarries on the edge of the moor Shown on first edition OS maps as limestone quarries with a limekiln to one side. The kiln has long since disappeared whilst the shallow quarries are grassed over.
The geology is confusing here as there are several places on the moor that were once quarried for limestone, yet the ground vegetation is largely heather, which is associated with acid soils. The geological map shows the surface geology as mostly limestone of the Hambleton Oolite Member, but close by is the Lower Calcareous Grit, which is a more acid sandstone.
