I should say the Bondicar cairn is chopped in half by sea erosion.
Now the Quarry. It was soon after filled with household waste from Amble. The sea used to erode a wall of ash on the eastward edge and produced may old bottles. I found a beautiful amber 'Warner's Safe Cure' there one day, courtesy of a spring tide! (sadly now sold so I can't show you it)
The blue seacton I've shown on the map was also filled with household waste, but more recent, probably from between the wars in my guesstimation. They were doing some earthworks in there at one time and again loads of old bottle produced but with screw caps and the like - which you will know are more recent.
