Monument record MDR15684 - Possible clay pits, Shining Cliff Woods, Alderwasley
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Oval pits around 3m by 2m water filled. A soil auger sample was taken which produced a fine grey-brown clay at 30cm depth. This part of the wood is particually wet, with a clay subsoil, therefore it is possible that they were clay pits, since excavation elsewhere has shown clay was used to cover kiln or coal stacks. (1)
