Cox's Quarry was part of the main area of quarrying in the 18th Century. It was worked as a surface quarry and is shown on Ordnance Survey Victorian maps as a large irregular depression. However, two entrances, with one known the Byfiled Entrance, in the east of the quarry provided access into the westernmost workings of the Byfield and Firs Quarry complex.
