Summary : Possible modern quarry is visible as earthworks on air photographs. It lies adjacent to Hadrian's Wall and Turret 43B (see NY 66 NE 2, UID 13825) and seems to be exploiting the Whin Sill dolerite. One face of the quarry directly abutts a reconstructed section of Hadrian's Wall and the date of the quarrying is uncertain. It may relate to this modern phase of Wall reconstruction or have had earlier origins. |
