Abstract:		 Archenfield Archaeology carried out work on behalf of the National Trust at Morville Hall, Morville, Shropshire. The estate has been in possession of the Trust since the 21st December 1965 when it was gifted by Miss Audrey Prestwich Bythell. The project included a walk-over historic landscape survey of the estate and a brief survey of all of the standing buildings, except for the hall itself, and was undertaken during a number of site visits between April and May 2006. The survey revealed 60 previously unidentified sites and added significant detail to a further 17 records, including aspects of the evolution of the agricultural buildings and almost certainly the original rear entrance to the farm complex. The historic landscape survey revealed a number of interesting features including a relict field system and evidence of past woodland industry. The survey has shown that the survival of archaeological features is high, in particular in Aston Hill Wood and the surrounding fields where a complex of tracks, charcoal burning platforms and a possible saw pit were identified. Furthermore a fragmentary field system, of medieval or earlier date, was identified on the north-facing slope below the woodland. Evidence of an iron working industry was also revealed in a small woodland plantation to the north of the estate which may be a continuation of an industry previously identified at Aldenham Hall, approximately 1 kilometre to the north of Morville.
