Archaeology Notes

ND34NW 72 ND 30272 46142

This disused quarry is situated in rough pasture 45m SE of the abandoned farmstead ND34NW 69. Roughly oval on plan, it measures 16m from NE to SW by 14m transversely and it has been dug into the gentle, SE-facing slope to a depth of 1m. An exposure of flagstone is visible on the W side of the interior, which is partly filled with rubbish.
