Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 5.5 hectares on land at Ellel Quarry, near Galgate, Lancashire, to inform a planning application for the extension of the quarry. No anomalies of any archaeological potential have been identified by the survey and none to suggest the presence of medieval remains which are recorded on the Lancashire Historic Environment Record (HER) immediately east of the application area. The survey has identified anomalies which are consistent with land drainage. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the application area is assessed as being of low archaeological potential, corroborating the results of the Desk-Based Assessment.
