Quarry Hill stone quarry is unusual for the area as access is via a short shaft rather than a drift entrance. This is very unusual in the Gloucestershire area. The shaft was (re)discovered during improvements to the adjacent B4425 road in the late 1960s. The shaft had been capped after working ceased by a stone dome which was disturbed by an excavator operator.
Now securely fenced,the shaft descends about 20 feet and shows evidence of wearing from rope haulage. Three passages leave the shaft bottom, including one of of about 500 feet which forms a loop back to the shaft. Dates of working are not known but a date of 1772 is visible in the roof, written in candle soot.
There is little evidence of pillar and stall working, nor of any trackway - again suggesting an early date of operation. In winter months, the mine is used as a roost by lesser horseshoe bats.
