SDO14636 - Furzeyground Pit Extension, Church Knowle Parish, Dorset (SY9240 8345). Archaeological Review.

‘The archaeological review of land adjacent to the existing Furzeyground opencast quarry within the parish of Church Knowle, Dorset, comprised a review of the data held in the County Sites and Monuments Record, a review of historical documents held in the Dorset History Centre and a site walkover. There are no previous recorded archaeological sites or historic buildings within the boundaries of the site, which has been extensively affected by former quarrying and dumping of clay waste. The course of the former mineral tramway can be traced partly within the application area where it has not previously been removed by modern quarry activities. It is considered unlikely that any significant archaeological deposits will have existed or survive on site.’
