Abstract:		 Archaeological survey was carried out on part of the Big Moor Scheduled Monument after surface vegetation was burnt off by a moorland fire. The survey recorded the condition of the known archaeological resource and any new features revealed. The survey recorded 43 previously unknown features. Nine are of potential Bronze Age date, including possible clearance cairns and linear clearance. Six features of probable post-medieval date are associated with small-scale quarrying, and 27 features are associated with 20th-century activity, mostly military training in the form of weapons pits and bullet-scarred rocks. Updates were made to the descriptions of 414 features recorded by the 1991-96 RCHME survey and 2010-2011 Eastern Moors Survey. This included information on current condition and threats to preservation. Rapid regrowth of bracken on the slopes meant that no details could be observed for 146 features obscured by vegetation. A further 47 features were not found, due to their ephemeral nature, or inaccurate location data. The assessment of condition and potential threats to the archaeological resource indicated that the most common risk is from livestock, predominantly cattle. Bracken is a common threat, though largely confined to the slopes. Weather erosion was more rare, though there were some new areas of exposed bare soil and stone on prehistoric monuments following the fire.
