Crossword Genius

Prey seen where stone is excavated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quarry

I believe this is a double definition.

'prey' is the first definition.
('quarry' can be a synonym of 'prey')

'where stone is excavated' is the second definition.

'seen' is the link.

(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "Surface excavation" , "blasted site" , "Dig out" , "what one seeks ..." , "Hunted animal - excavation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
