Field Visit (June 2002)
NS 371 533 A cultural heritage study was undertaken in June 2002 on the proposed change of use of a sand and gravel extraction quarry to a landfill site. Two sites of interest were identified from a desk-based study: Trearne House (site of) (NS 35 SE 42) and St Bridget's Chapel and burial ground (site of) (NS 35 SE 10). The development site was visited and a field reconnaissance survey undertaken. The field visit revealed that previous quarrying on the site had destroyed both sites. Two tree-lined approach avenues associated with Trearne House were identified and recorded, along with some areas of rig and furrow agriculture on the periphery of the proposed development.
