Low Plains Quarry, Lazonby, Cumbria. Archaeological Investigation Report

Oxford Archaeology North was commissioned by Tarmac Ltd to conduct an
archaeologically supervised top-soil strip and excavation at their quarry at Low Plains,
Lazonby, Cumbria (NGR: NY 4997 4166), prior to the extension of the quarry. This area
included the site of a circular cropmark (Site 16) identified during an archaeological
assessment of the area (LUAU 2000).
The site lies within an area of known prehistoric sites, particularly on the nearby Lazonby
Fell where Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age sites are located. The programme of works
was designed to locate any subsurface feature from which the cropmark resulted, and any
other associated archaeological remains.
