Description: The photographer's original caption for this view reads:
'General View of where Urns were found under the Trees shown, at Ann Fyfords Quarry. Ancient Urns were found in every direction proving ancient Burial place.'
Can anyone offer any further information on this archaeological discovery or the location of the quarry / peatbed?
From an industrial point of view, the quarry looks to be in a moorland location with large lumps of stone in the background, along with a discarded flywheel and line-shafting pulley. However, despite appearances, the vertical lump of stone in the centre has not been loaded into the horse-drawn cart; instead the activity seems to involve peat cutting rather than stone quarrying with one of the workmen using a spade to load the cart with turves. This also accounts for the shallow nature of the workings.
