Full Description
{2} Along the western edge of the field, there is an overgrown steeply-cut hollow, which the 1900 Ordnance Survey map identifies as an old quarry pit. The survey data north of this shows an area of magnetic disturbance tapering towards the north. This could represent an overspill of quarry waste or, alternatively, an area of quarry backfill containing ferrous debris, slag or other magnetic materials. Other magnetic disturbance further to the north may also be associated with this quarry. A separate area of magnetic disturbance to the east, suggests another concentration of modern magnetic debris, but cannot be interpreted more specifically than this.
