| Surveying at Studfold Chris Bonsall led a team of colleagues surveying the enclosure at Studfold, just to the east of Horton in Ribblesdale. The external bank and ditch has been surveyed, with internal features still to be recorded. The surveying of features like this responds to the need for recording detail before it is lost to plain sight. As you can see in the aerial photo below, the features cover three fields, with bank and ditch details least visible in the centre of the three. The most likely cause of the loss of feature is ploughing, as the owners try to improve the land for crops. 4 May 2017 |

| Surveying on Scales Moor Yvonne Luke led a group of IAG members, plus Helen (an invited expert from Bradford University), on a survey of the burial cairns on ScalesMoor. One sub-group completed a resistivity survey, one completed a magnetometry survey using a Bartington Gradiometer and one partly completed a measured survey using the Total Station. Fortunately, we had permission to drive part of the way onto the moor, as carrying the kit all the way from the car park by Chapel-le-Dale Church would have meant we'd be too tired to survey once we got there. 13 April 2017 |
