Abstract: |
This survey was part of the Herefordshire Woodlands Archaeological Survey undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid site identification survey was carried out in the wood concerned, using a hand held Global Positioning System to record the location of the features that were recognised as having archaeological significance. Earthwork features were recorded within the wood that illustrate the intensive use of the woodland resource in the post medieval period. These included, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries. a single section of bank and ditch was recorded, which appeared to relate more to the early field boundary pattern of the area than woodland management. It is thought that this feature dates from the medieval period. The course of a small leat or drain was recorded which appears to have fed a small pool outside the woodland that formed part of the designed landscape associated with the historic parkland and gardens of Dulas Court. |
