A striking, disused quarry north-west of Byers Pike seen from the west across the valley of the Black Burn. There's little remaining on the site, just the ruins of a concrete building and the access road. Les Hull names the feature as Raven Crag Quarry - Link .

Possible Bridge Abutment

This may have been a bridge supporting a small mineral line over the main tramway for the zinc mine. If so it may have been built to transport rock from the quarry.
