Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology was commissioned by the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to conduct a walkover survey of Whitman's Hill Coppice within the parish of Cradley, Herefordshire. The investigation highlighted the varied heritage preserved within the woodland and recorded key stages in the woodlands development. The earliest evidence for land use was identified at the summit of Whitman's Hill. This consisted of a ridge top boundary bank indicative of an early medieval or Anglo Saxon land division; this is further strengthened by its apparent connection with a cross-dyke boundary to the south. Preserved within the woodland is a network of medieval field systems overlain by post-medieval woodland compartment boundaries and ridge and furrow. It was apparent through the survey that due to the underlying limestone geology the hilltop was a hub of industrial activity during the post-medieval period. This is evident from the network of track ways, charcoal burning platforms, saw pits, platforms, quarries and limekiln site. The overall aim of the project was to enhance knowledge and raise public awareness of Whitman's Hill Coppice. The information will be made accessible for use by the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust Volunteers (Earth Heritage Champions) when guiding people around the woodland.
