I doubt these fancy gates were used even when the quarry was working. Another 3 or 4 paces and there's a cliff edge. The quarry, where dinosaur footprints have been found, is a SSSI and an excellent place for fossils, hence recent controversy over plans to use it as a garbage tip. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-17743016
