Topic: Society (016) Keyword Source: UNESCO Thesaurus Keywords: Geophysical Prospecting, Archaeology, Surveys Other Keywords: Battle Ground, Geophysical Survey, Industrial Activity, Post Medieval, Ridge and Furrow Plowing Place Name Source: Ordnance Survey’s 1:50,000 Place Names Gazetteer Place Names: Adwalton, , Yorkshire, Description: A gradiometer survey was conducted over areas totalling 4.4 hectares at Adwalton Moor near Drighlington, a possible site of a major Civil War battle. Although many linear anomalies were identified they probably reflect former agricultural practices (ridge and furrow ploughing) and recent attempts to improve drainage rather than archaeological features. An area of possible industrial activity has been identified as has an anomaly thought to be a trackway of an unknown date. No other anomalies of likely archaeological origin have been detected. The gradiometer survey results are the feature datasets associated with these metadata records. Language: English Quality: Project maps derived from Ordnance Survey 1:2500 maps.

However, by accepting the terms of the Common Access Agreement users are entering into a legally binding agreement. The Access Agreement is Common to each of the AHDS service providers. As it covers a range of services, including both on-line and paper transactions, this preamble seeks to explain how it is implemented by the Archaeology Data Service. NB: this preamble is an explanatory aid, not a legal instrument. Only the "Terms" below are legally binding.

It is the aim of the ADS to provide integrated access to a variety of data sets at no cost to end users, and without cumbersome login procedures. This aim can only be achieved if the organisations which supply data can be assured that their own rights are protected. Consequently, use of the catalogue is covered by a variety of legal instruments to protect us, our users, and those who supply data to us.

The Common Access Agreement asks that users be fair and reasonable in their use of the data supplied through the ADS. The ADS levies no charges, there are no documents to sign, and none will be applied retrospectively. We do not hold information on specific users. In return we ask that you acknowledge the source and copyright of the data you use, that you tell us of any errors you find in it, and that if you undertake any work based substantially upon it, that you tell us about it and send us a copy of any subsequent publication. The data must not be sold or supplied to a third party.

The data should only be used for teaching, learning, and research purposes. By teaching, we mean directed teaching undertaken with a designated tutor in a formal setting. By learning we mean self- directed study, whether or not attached to an educational institution, including the educational activities undertaken in museums, libraries and cognate institutions. By research we mean any work undertaken for the advancement of archaeological knowledge and/or the understanding of the historic environment. Such work may be commercially sponsored or it may be funded by academic bodies or learned societies, or it may be unsupported: but it is a condition of use that the results are placed in the

2 public domain and are made freely available for others to use according to the normal principles of professional and academic practice. Use Constraints: See Access Details
