The quarry lies in a field to the south west of the Bradford-on-Avon Tithe Barn, on the south side of the River Avon. It cuts into Oolitic limestone and has a wall in the middle creating an upper and a lower quarry, last used for mushroom growing. The walls are whitewashed and there is a large wooden crane.
