Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 1 hectare was carried out on land east of the A61 Birdwell Junction, to provide further information on the archaeological resource prior to proposed road improvement works. Anomalies have been identified which are consistent with near-surface geological variation and the industrial use of the land for mineral extraction. No anomalies have been identified to either confirm or negate the presence of features associated with the 17th-century battle of Tankersley Moor which is thought to have taken place in the locality. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low. |
