Abstract: |
An archaeoloical survey of the lead mining complex at Grassington Moor, North Yorkshire (SM 31331). The survey comprised a detailed desk-based LiDAR transcription and topographic survey, which aimed at identifying and preserving the heritage significance of the site through archaeological record and to inform a management plan, which looked at threats to the identified archaeological resource and established mitigation measures for its preservation. The survey area, covering 5.6km², forms part of Grassington Moor, a registered common in the parish of Grassington, and comprises a part of the moor which has been heavily impacted by lead mining. Sections of the survey area form part of a Scheduled Monument, much of which lies outside the current investigation boundary. The project involved the digitisation of archaeological structural and earthwork features into MapInfo GIS from orthorectified photographic images and LiDAR derived DSMs (Digital Surface Models) and DTMs (Digital Terrain Models), and cross-referencing the digitised entries with existing documentary, cartographic and photographic sources to produce a definitive record for the mining remains. The study identified a total of 956 heritage assets within the study area (many in groups). An English Heritage Level 2 survey was subsequently carried out to validate the results of the digitising. |
