Foggintor Quarry is an agricultural-related site centred on quarry workings rather than a natural tor. The ruins here connect to the broader industrial and settlement history of Foggintor, which has been thoroughly researched and written about by local historians. Information about the site comes from Kath Brewer's two substantial articles published in Dartmoor Magazine in spring and autumn 1987, and from the book 'The Railways, Quarries and Cottages of Foggintor', which explores the quarrying, transport links and domestic life that once characterised this moorland area.
