The quarry lies in a field to the southwest of the Bradford-on-Avon Tithe Barn, on the south side of the River Avon. It cuts into oolitic limestone and is divided by a central wall into upper and lower sections, which were last used for mushroom cultivation. The quarry walls are whitewashed, and a large wooden crane remains on site.
