SWAAG members conducted a GPS survey of visible archaeological remains in the cluster of fields between the village of Healaugh and the higher hamlet of Daggerstones.
The survey report concluded that there was evidence of prehistoric and Romano-British settlement and activity on the site, preceding developments in the medieval, early-modern, and Modern periods. The site is close to mining areas on the moorland above and linked to the moor by trackways.
The full 36-page report of the survey can be read here: SWAAG Archaeology Report no. 2 – The Daggerstones Survey – An archaeological survey of Daggerstones Farm above Healaugh, by Peter Denison-Edson, Stephen Eastmead, and Tim Laurie.
