Small clay pit to the west of Southfleet road. Established by the late 19th century (shown on the 2nd ED OS map), the quarry was eventually linked via a tramway to more extensive works, formerly part of the Swamscombe park, to the south-west. The quarry became redundant by the 1930s. Currently the quarry is overgrown with scrub and small trees, areas appear to have been backfilled, although the tramway cutting linking to the Swanscombe Park quarry survives, predominantly due to its adaptation as a public footpath. No evidence of tramlines or other quarry related technology survive.
