An unlocated reference simply named as Polyphant Quarry, so it is unclear whether this refers to Polyphant Quarry itself (GR given here), or to one of the several small quarries around the village of Polyphant.
Polyphant quarry works ornamental stone, largely for tombstones and buildings. Stone from Polyphant Quarry was largely used in the erection of Truro Cathedral.
