Summary edit

Description
English: Moor Lane, Stutton Shown as a disused tip on the O/S 1:25000 scale map, this man-made valley north of Moor Lane was presumably once part of a string of local quarries where the much sought after milk white magnesium limestone was extracted from Roman times for buildings in the area including York Minster. The most famous of these quarries at Jackdaw Crag is a few hundred metres west of here, where crushed rock was more recently produced for the construction of the A1 motorway. The valley now forms part of the cutting for the busy A64 dual carriageway which is hidden by trees in the picture, with the old Stutton windmill now isolated and abandoned on the other side.
