HY 43775 25937 A ground penetrating radar survey was undertaken on 28 April 2015 at the site of the Neolithic quarry identified during previous seasons of excavation (DES 2010, 2011 and 2013). With the trenches fully backfilled, a GPR survey was undertaken over a 19 x 25m grid. The rockcut quarry (c12m long, 6m wide and 1.8m deep from current ground level) was successfully identified in the data and a 3D model has been produced.
