Active quarry.

NOTE: "... most of the new specimens sold during 2007/2008 as Merehead Quarry, are actually from Durnford Quarry." (http://www.mindat.org/mesg-11-135845.html)

Note:
Pill hill, on which the quarry is located, has been listed as a mineral locality much earlier by Greg & Lettsom (as "Pyle Hill near Clifton", 1858) and by Hall (as "Pyll Hill near Clifton", 1868).
