Site Event/Activity record EEM14795 - 2019: Eval - Standing Stone on Hoar Moor

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to investigate a potential standing stone recorded during a walkover survey of Hoar Moor in 2009. The stone was located on the western bank of a leat running off the River Quarme, from which it protruded slightly. A section was excavated to identify and establish any discernible cut socket for the stone; an area was then excavated around the stone by a tracked mechanical excavator to the depth of in situ weathered natural. No finds were recovered and there were no discernible archaeological aspects to the stone.
