Archaeological Evaluation (18 May 2009 - 20 May 2009)
NO 3038 1285 An evaluation was carried out on the Phase 1 area of Mountcastle Quarry on 18–20 May 2009. The only features discovered were thought to be the result of modern forestry work, although this remains unconfirmed as the features contained no diagnostic information. No significant archaeological deposits were recorded and all finds related to 20th-century use of the site.
