Abstract: |
A rapid archaeological survey and assessment in advance of peat restoration works on Heathfield Moor, Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. The project area comprised approximately 4.4km² of upland landscape. A total of 21 heritage assets were surveyed, of which 8 were previously recorded in the HER. The remainder of the sites were newly discovered and this has expanded the existing knowledge and understanding of the archaeology of this area of moorland. The overwhelming majority of the archaeology was post-medieval in date, and comprised: water-management systems and trackways related to lead mining (in particular Merryfield Old Dams, on the edge of the survey area); grouse butts related to early shooting on the moor; and a wash-fold, where sheep were penned and washed in Ashfold Side Beck. The survey also identified the position of two modern air-crashes. A number of Bronze Age findspots were also recorded in the HER within the survey area. |
