Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a pilot study of Rodd Wood, conducted in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid walk over survey was carried out with a hand held G.P.S. unit used to record the location of features encountered. Structures were recorded within Rodd Wood that illustrate the intensive use of the woodland resource in the late and post medieval periods, i.e. Saw pits, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries were observed. Evidence for medieval agriculture, in the form of ridge and furrow in a area now under woodland, was recorded. A fragmentary series of medieval woodland boundary banks and internal divisions was noted. It is clear that much of the woodland included in this survey has been intensively managed for many centuries. However one area contains well preserved ridge and furrow which has only been preserved as a series of upstanding features because it has been covered in woodland. |
