Activities

Field Visit (1999)

SU 19:

This ovoid quarry scoop is orientated from west to east and measures 7.1 x 5.5 metres and is up to 1 metre deep.

Interpretation: Located 5 metres to the east of the North Glen Dale trackway, SU 15, it is probable that this feature relates to the construction of the track. It is broadly comparable in size and location to quarry scoops SU 2, 3, 24 and 56.

Babtie Group, 1999)
