| Surveying in Ingleborough One of the important tasks for members of the Group is to record sites in an around Ingleborough before they disappear from view. Although we have not the resources to excavate every interesting site, we can survey and add them to the historical record and for future investigation. We regularly survey using Total Station and Tape & Offset methods. |

| Surveying on High Brae A team of IAG colleagues completed a survey of a cairn field on High Brae (on the eastern slopes of Ingleborough). Some 22 cairns were identified and recorded, the vast majority with some sandstone showing amongst the limestone. Further investigation will be needed to decide whether these are simply clearance cairns, or have some greater importance. More photos here. 10 June 2018 |
