NM76SE 13 776 606
Reconnaissance work in connection with the Millennium-funded Sunart Oakwood Project resulted in the discovery of a number of sites on adjoining estates, including:
NM 776 606 Felspar quarry with access road from site of jetty, known to have been operational c 1916.
Research into the history of the oakwoods is ongoing. Oak trees derived from maiden stems, singled coppice and multi-stemmed neglected coppice occur throughout the woodlands. Very occasional senile pollarded trees suggest an earlier woodland management regime, possibly dating from the late medieval period.
