I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one hunted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "blasted site" , "Hunted animal - excavation" , "Extract, for example, stone" , "Prey; open excavation" , "Hunted animal; stone pit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
