Site misidentified from the 1997 RIGS Survey. The area forms part of the large scale restoration of the area around Brodsworth Quarry and was not identified as a RIGS in 1997. The area was investigated but there was no ready access to the site. From a distance, old quarried faces were visible but these appeared to be landscaped and were not considered worthy of further investigation.
