Work gets underway on Todmorden Moor

Circular depression with surrounding bank - Mine shaft
A team from Todmorden Moor Restoration Trust have started recording features by fieldwalking in 100x100m grids, using the Google Earth methodology developed by by members of the CSI: Rombalds Moor project.

Todmorden Moor is a landsape full of 'lumps and bumps' representing activity over a long time scale. The team are mapping all the features that they see and will be recording a representative selection of the features relating to the mining activities in more detail later in the year.
