Abstract:		 As part of a wider programme of research and interpretation of historic sites in Upper Coquetdale, the Northumberland National Park commissioned an archaeological survey and recording project focused on the Harbottle Quarries, together with additional fieldwalking of adjacent moorland to establish the full extent of the millstone working. The survey revealed the extent of the millstone quarrying industry at Harbottle Crage to have been significantly greater than previously thought, both in volume of material extracted and in the extent of working. Although the survey did not produce any physical evidence for dating or phasing the use of the quarry, the scant documentary sources indicated that the industry had commenced before 1604 and had ceased by c.1800. In its origins Harbottle Hill was among the earliest dated millstone quarries in Northumberland, and as a consequence of this survey the most comprehensively hitherto recorded. The high quality of the preserved remains made the quarry of regional cultural significance. [Au(abr)]
