Yatton Keynell Quarry

Stone was quarried for local houses from the land adjacent to Kent’s Bottom. Kent’s Bottom is associated with the family of Thomas Kent (1752). The site was later disused. John Aubrey (The Natural History of Wiltshire Author circa 1710) stated that the freestone quarry between Yatton Keynell and Long Dean does not endure the weather well. This quarry was possibly leased to Strongs of Box
