The depression on this side of the road was of some interest. Could it be an old quarry? Investigation on old maps revealed that it is an old gravel pit, more being on the far side of the village street. More speculation that the long low ridge on which High Catton stands might be a glacial moraine, which would account for the gravel deposits.
