Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology were commisioned to undertake a measured earthwork survey of Lord's Wood Enclosure, Lord's Wood, Whitchurch, Herefordshire carried out February 2012. This sub-circular, embanked earthwork enclosure is located at the south end of Lord's Wood, a Forestry Commission managed woodland. The site has previously been subject to trial excavations by the Monmouth School Archaeological Society. These were carried out in 1949-50 and the pottery retrieved indicates the site was occupied between 1st - 3rd centuries AD, in the Romano-British period. The trenches from these excavations were not backfilled and are still evident today. Surviving earthwork enclosure sites like this are nationally rare and therefore this site is of national importance. Improving our understanding of this site will contribute to the study and story of settlement in the Roman period. The site was identified at an early stage of the Heritage Lottery Funded Overlooking the Wye (OtW) Project as a potential project site within the scheme. It was not selected as a primary target for the project and was put on a reserve list. The OtW project, which has run from 2008 - 2012 identified sufficient funding to address some reserve sites and this has enabled to production of a new detailed survey plan of the site to help improve our understanding of the site and guide its future management.
