Not if you use the definition in the evidence thesaurus which is :
Monument existing as an upstanding earthwork, ditch or artificial
watercourse, or as a low stone built feature not covered by the other
categories.
A quarry is not any of those, its a big 'ole generally. : )

A quarry is surely quite literally an earthwork. No problems there
then.

Agreed - we have mapped dozens of quarries, extractive pits etc and
have
used 'earthwork', which is not entirely satisfactory, although it is
accurate. Similarly, and ideas for bombcraters?

Hello Folks
when indexing a quarry against an evidence type, what would people use
for its physical remains? Its not quite a modified surface, enhanced
natural feature, or earthwork. Any ideas? TIme for a new term - Human
ALtered area? Or something?
Assuming any of you think about such things...
thanks
