Abstract:
Herefordshire Archaeology were commisioned to undertake a walkover survey that formed part of the Herefordshire Woodlands Archaeological Survey undertaken in partnership with Herefordshire Nature Trust. A rapid site identification survey was undertaken within four reserves belonging to Herefordshire Nature Trust within the Symonds Yat area of the Forest of Dean. Features were recorded within Leaping Stocks, White Rocks and the Miner's Rest reserves which appear to relate to an intensive phase of post-medieval, land clearance and the construction of a complex field system comprising banks, ditches and stone walls. In some areas this post-medieval agriculture appears to have re-used parts of a medieval field system of lynchets. A number of dwellings, ancillary buildings and route ways were recorded associated with the post- medieval field system. A small number of features relating to woodland management were recorded, suggesting that the present woodland, which covers much of the reserves, is a relatively modern form of land-use. Features identified within King Arthur's Cave reserve in the main related to large scale quarrying. Most features recorded were found to be in a good state of preservation indicating that the present land management regime is not detrimental to their continued survival.
