(X0.95) As "Modern," Both Val- Ues Treated As Constants, with AD 1950 As the Reference Year
[RADIOCARBON, VOL 29, No. 1, 1987, P 78-99] HARWELL RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS V A J WALKER, R S KEYZOR*, and R L OTLET Isotope Measurements Laboratory, Nuclear Applications Centre, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, Oxfordshire, OXl l ORA, UK INTRODUCTION The results presented in this list include some recently measured sam- ples (1984) but mostly ones from our earlier years of operation which had not been previously published in RADIOCARBON. It is the first of a number of special lists prepared over the last year so that the backlog of unpub- lished dates of this laboratory will be cleared. The samples are all archaeo- logic from the United Kingdom most of which have originated from "res- cue"-type excavations. As in previous lists, all samples were measured by liquid scintillation counting (Otlet & Warchal,1978), and the error term quoted is the 10r stan- dard deviation estimate of the full replicate sample reproducibility (Otlet, 1979). The list was produced semi-automatically from the Harwell data base stored on the main frame computer using the procedures described in Otlet and Walker (1983). Calculations are based on the Libby half-life of 5568 years, using NBS oxalic acid standard (x0.95) as "modern," both val- ues treated as constants, with AD 1950 as the reference year. All results are corrected for fractionation according to the quoted b13C (wrt PDB) values measured in this laboratory. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the work of our colleagues, G A Bradburn and D G Humphreys, with the laboratory measurements and of E F Westall, S E Hasler, and M Gibson with the preparation of the data in computer readable form. -
Great Hill 1 - Moor Adventure
1 Great Hill 1 - Moor Adventure There are a number of well known routes around Great Hill. Typically from White Coppice to Great Hill Peak, then Spitlers Edge to Will Narr and down to Lead Mines Clough then down to and along the Goyt back to White Coppice. Those are all on known pubic footpaths paths. The 6 mile walk here follows the usual route to the peak of Great Hill from White Coppic ebut then heads off across the moor to visit two hill tops, and two archaeological sites. On the moor itself there are few paths so this walk entails 2 miles across the moor with only ½ mile of visible path. The walk was done after a wet summer though having had a few good dry and hot days. While the moor was not dry, there was no problems with bogs and gaiters were not essential, just sensible. Much of the moor is covered in short heather, some grass areas and all of it “clumpy”. The two archaeological sites are a bowl barrow and a chambered long cairn. While it is possible to cross the moor without a compass, it is better to have one. At Point 13 you could take a shorter route to White Coppice by following the initial waypoints in reverse in Great Hill 2 description. The start of the walk is White Coppice cricket ground. Sometimes the café is open and in those cases the toilets behind the café are also open. When it’s not a cricket day, it’s possible to park in the small car park. -

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Ribble Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Ribble catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Ribble CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England and parts of Preston are also at risk of tidal flooding. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed We estimate 6400 properties in the catchment have inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for a 1% annual probability of flooding from rivers or a the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland 0.5% annual probability of flooding from the tide. We flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water estimate that by 2100 approximately 12,400 properties and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from the will be at risk of flooding (fluvial and tidal). -

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In the attached datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.
