Type and Period (1)
- QUARRY (Unknown date)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A widespread zone of magnetic variation was recorded in this location in February 2016, during magnetometry survey of land off Stow Park Road. The anomalies were thought to reflect an area of probable former quarrying, although an exact date for this activity remains uncertain. The anomalies appeared to cut into an area of probable medieval ridge and furrow, suggesting a post-medieval origin, although no significant quarrying activity is recorded in this location on the historic Ordnance Survey maps. {1}
