Abstract: |
In November and December 2007Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Birchover Stone Ltd to undertake an archaeological contour survey and evaluation. The work was carried out during November and December 2007 prior to a possible 1 ha extension to the quarry. A Desk-Based Assessment had been undertaken by Trent and Peak Archaeological Unit (March 2007) which asserted that the land which is the subject of the proposed extension was probably a Post-Medieval intake from the Moor. Birchover Quarry lies immediately to the south of Stanton Moor, a scheduled ancient monument due to the rich evidence of Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial monuments identified. No features of archaeological significance or buried land surfaces were identified as a result of this programme of work |
