Summary
A probable area of post-medieval quarrying identified in a magnetometry survey on land to the north of High Road, Barrowby.
Type and Period (1)
- QUARRY (Post Medieval - 1763 AD? to 1888 AD?)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A quarry identified in a magnetometry survey. It appears to truncate the below-ground remains of Medieval or early post-Medieval ridge and furrow. The quarry is not recorded in the 1763 Barrowby enclosure map nor in the 1888 first edition Ordnance Survey; it is therefore probable that the quarry was in use at some point between these years. {1}{2}
