Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-top study was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. St. White's Farm formed part of the estate of Flaxley Abbey from the medieval period. It was said that there was a grange and chapel, or Anchorite Cell at St. White's. The area also comprised a nucleus of settlement in medieval times. The evidence examined suggested that the majority of the study area had probably been used primarily for agricultural purposes (pasturage) since at least medieval times with iron ore mining and quarrying also having taken place there. It was possible, however, the course of a Roman road proceeded along the western flank of the study area. Part of the study area was covered by woodland (Harp Wood) until the 20th century.
