Newsletter March 2020.Pd ON THE ROCKS Newsletter of the Yorkshire Branch of the Open University Geological Society March 2020 The Carn Mor Dearg arête, linking Carn Mor Dearg (1220m) and Ben Nevis (1345m), the highest mountain in the UK. This view is from the slope of Carn Mor Dearg, looking south-southwest towards the Mamores. The lowest point on the arête is over 1000m. Walkhighlands introduces the walk by saying, “For experienced, fit mountain walkers who do not mind easy scrambling but are not climbers, this is the finest way to climb Ben Nevis. This is a truly spectacular route incorporating two Munros. It will live long in the memory and does true justice to the mountain.” I would add, “especially if you have weather like this!” You can read more about the route here. Carn Mor Dearg and the arête are pink, fine-grained granite (known as the inner granite), and the summit dome of Ben Nevis is andesite. (Peter Roberts 25.8.19 Grid Ref: NN 17707 72095) CONTENTS Message from Sue Vernon 1 Message from Sue Vernon Dear Yorkshire members 2. The future of the Branch 2.Editor’s piece 3. The 2020 AGM minutes I have in the interim taken over the liaison role between the Branch and the 8. Sheffield field trip write-up Executive Committee. The role of the Executive Committee is to support the 11. This year’s field trips Branch Committee not to run the Branch. Your Branch Committee is 12. Your committee experienced, well placed and has set up dialogue with East Midlands Branch so that joint field trips can be organised to the advantage of both Branches. Any information that lands in the BO email box comes to me and I will pass on to the Committee for them to distribute to the members so that everyone is aware of what is going on in the area. If any of you have any questions that need clarifying, then I can be contacted via the [email protected] email address. Sue Vernon The Yorkshire Branch of the OUGS March 2020 The future of the Branch The Branch AGM, at which Don Cameron represented the Executive Committee, was held on 25th January and a copy of the minutes appear on page 3. Rick Savage and Jean Sampson had already indicated that they were definitely standing down as Branch Organiser and Treasurer respectively so the main item on the agenda was what would happen to the Branch if one or both positions could not be filled. Peter Vallely agreed to take on the role of Treasurer but no one came forward to stand for Branch Organiser, so with immediate effect the Yorkshire OUGS branch will be looked after by the OUGS Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will be represented by Sue Vernon who explains her role in her message on the front page. You will see she has the alias previously used by Rick of [email protected], and your Branch Committee for 2020 is: Peter Vallely – Treasurer; Peter Ellenger – Newsletter editor; Tony Felski, Ann Goundry, Jenny Jennings, Peter Roberts, Jean Sampson, Rick Savage, and Lynda Welch. They can be contacted at [email protected]. The question of the longer-term direction of the Branch was on the agenda and it was originally suggested that an amalgamation with Northumbria Branch would have the backing of the meeting. However, somewhat surprisingly, at their AGM the Northumbria members voted unanimously to reject such an amalgamation. A discussion took place as to whether instead of Northumbria we amalgamate with The East Midlands Branch as it was felt we have quite a lot in common. This was confirmed by a vote which was unanimous to pursue and work towards an amalgamation possibly at next year’s AGMs of both Branches if East Midlands were also in favour. At their Branch AGM such an amalgamation with Yorkshire was looked on favourably, so your committee have been liaising with the East Midlands committee to organise a number of joint trips over this year and these are shown on page 11. A formal amalgamation will be discussed at the respective 2021 AGMs of both Branches. Editor’s piece Quite understandably the majority of this edition of the newsletter is taken up with the AGM and the future of the Branch, but there is still space to include the stunning photo on the front page taken by Peter Roberts of The Carn Mor Dearg arête. He has pointed out that there are in fact two people in the photo for scale. They are sitting on the rim, although you will need to look closely to see them! Thanks also to Peter Vallely for his write up of a field trip to the Sheffield area last August. You will see from the accounts included below that the newsletter costs the Branch nearly £138 a year in printing and postage costs for those 16 members who still receive a black and white copy by post. Of the 16, six have still not conformed to the GDPR regulations which were introduced in 2018 so unfortunately all they receive is the newsletter but not emails which are sent out to all other members throughout the year. I would ask all 16 members to seriously consider receiving it in FULL COLOUR via email. If you would like to switch please send me an email. I am always looking for articles, photos, field trip write-ups, etc, so if you have anything which you think might be of interest to other members, I would be happy to receive them. Peter Ellenger 2 The Yorkshire Branch of the OUGS March 2020 Open University Geological Society Yorkshire Branch Annual General Meeting Saturday 25th January 2020 at 10.30am MINUTES Present: Branch Organiser: Ricky Savage (RS) Treasurer: Jean Sampson (JS) Newsletter Editor: Peter Ellenger (PE) Minute Taker: Lynda Welch (LCW) Peter Roberts (PR) Peter Vallely (PV) Lesley Webster (LW) Wayne Harston (WH) Jenny Jennings (JJ) Ann Goundry (AG) Peter Hodgkinson (PH) Phil Robinson (PR) Don Cameron (DC) 1. Apologies: Tony Felski Earl Haworth 2. Welcome RS welcomed everyone to the meeting 3. Minutes of the Meeting held 26th January 2019 These were agreed as a true record of the meeting Proposed: Jean Sampson Seconded: Wayne Harston All present in favour 4. Matters Arising from the Minutes None 5. Correspondence RS has had an email from Africa requesting bank details so we can be sent money. This was clearly spam and has been dealt with. DC queried whether anyone has received ‘odd’ emails from other members, as this seems to be an issue. A reminder to everyone to be vigilant and not open attachments unless you are sure the email is genuine. If you receive a spam email, alert the person and delete it. 6. Officers Reports (Branch Organiser, Treasurer, Newsletter Editor) Branch Organiser The Branch Organisers Report had been circulated with the Agenda and previous Minutes. RS noted that the committee has worked extremely hard this year, with PV and Tony Felski leading field trips, PE continuing to produce an excellent Newsletter, and JS stepping into the role of Treasurer with one days warning. RS led a Lake District trip with Simon Drake. Northumbria voted unanimously in their recent AGM to reject an amalgamation with Yorkshire. This, and falling membership numbers has raised concerns for RS, particularly if key roles cannot be filled on the committee, as to the future of the Branch. RS reiterated that he will step down as Branch Organiser this year after 10 years in post. He wished to thank all those who had supported him, the leaders who have run trips on our behalf, and the committee for their personal belief in him. There was an observation from PH that Sheffield is as far from Brighton as it is from Berwick upon Tweed. Yorkshire is a very large county, as is Northumberland, and bigger branches are not necessarily 3 The Yorkshire Branch of the OUGS March 2020 representative. Some people will always be willing to travel a distance, and others from around the corner won’t. PR and WH believe RS should be thanked for the residential trips he has organised. There is a lot of support for the work that RS has done as BO. There will be a Mapping Trip part 2 next year, as Simon is willing to undertake two trips per year for the Branch. DC reminded the meeting that you don’t need to be Branch Organiser to organise trips. Treasurer: JS supplied the meeting attendees with financial summaries from December 2018 and December 2019. For year ending 31st December 2018, there was £356.54 in the main account and £811.50 in the trips account. Grants received were £380 and trip income was £5,925. The newsletter costs were £179.03 and £358.21 was spent on admin. Trip expenditure was £5,564.23. There was a balanced total of £7,585.04. Year ending 31st December 2019, there was £199.30 in the main account and £1,172.27 in the trips account. There was a cash in hand float of £112, made up of £104.10 which went out of the trips account, and £7.90 which was a sundry payment for a bottle of wine. Grants received were £365 and trip income was £4,022.60. The newsletter costs were £142.98 and £135.73 was spent on admin. Trip expenditure was £3,929.89. There was a balanced total of £5,871.17, and a copy of the accounts is shown. There is a payment due for the hire of this room today, which will appear in the 2020 accounts.

  • Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey
    Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey December 2006 Prepared for: Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey Non Technical Summary ASE Ltd was commissioned to carry out an earthwork enclosure in Woodland 1 at Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield. The survey was undertaken in August 2005 and constituted part of a community-based project funded by a Local Heritage Initiative grant. It was carried out by a group of volunteers from the Friends of Ecclesall Woods under the supervision of a consultant archaeologist. Training in recording archaeological earthworks and the use of a total station was delivered during the course of the survey. The earthwork enclosure was similar in form and construction to the enclosures that formed part of the field system associated with the hilltop enclosure in Woodland 3 at Ecclesall Woods. This field system was tentatively thought to be Iron Age or Romano-British in date. Despite the similarities with the enclosures in Woodland 3, the date of the Woodland 1 enclosure remains uncertain. Further evidence of agricultural activity with Woodland 1 was identified during the course of the survey, including a possible linear clearance feature and clearance cairn. The linear clearance feature would appear to represent at least two phases of activity, the second of which is considered to have been broadly contemporary with the earthwork enclosure. Several post mediaeval or modern features were also recorded during the course of the survey. One of these features, a hollow way, was thought to correspond to an earlier alignment of Cow Lane.

    7km Ecclesall Woods walk Incorporating examples of over 1000 historical features. Please don’t take any statements here as definitive just the best I could do at the time, if you know more please let me know. Borrowings from various books and on-line sources mostly listed later… You may come across references to Woods number 1, 2 and 3. Wood 1 is northernmost bordered by Abbey Lane, Dobcroft Rd and Whirlowdale Rd. The other side of Whirlowdale Rd is Wood 2 with Abbey Lane to its West and running down to Abbeydale Rd. Wood 3 is West of Abbey Lane and features the bird sanctuary and Woodland Discovery Centre. The points of interest are in order of visit to the named points on the route map below. • Q-Pit This is one of the more distinct of about 60 Q-Pits in these woods. They are characterised by a raised circular earth & rubble bank with a break and possibly a banked ditch on the downslope side. Q-Pits were used for the production of “white coal”. This was wood that had been heated to the point that all the moisture was driven out but not allowed to char like charcoal. White coal burns intensely but at a lower temperature than charcoal and was used for small scale lead smelting, the lower temperature reduces vaporisation of the lead. Larger lead smelting operations were in “Boles”, there are several place names in the Peak District incorporating “Bole“ indicating they were the location of lead smelters. Lead was not mined in the woods but either the ore (galena) was brought here or the white coal delivered to the locations where it was to be used.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.
