The Herefordshire field-name survey
Ruth E Richardson
434 - 489
An overview and short series of articles concerning this award-winning project. Tithe maps and accompanying schedules (or apportionments) resulting from the Tithe Communication Act of 1836 along with a few enclosure maps for the county are the primary source of field-name data for the survey. Work on part one of the survey, undertaken between 1987 and 1993, involved: reducing and redrawing the original Tithe maps to a scale of 6ins:1 mile; copying field-names from the original schedules in the Hereford Record Office; checking each parish list, typing and checking the finished result; and finally booklet production to order. Part two involved recording field-names from other sources such as wills, deeds, sales documents and leases etc. Information on the field-name concerned, its date, source and location using tithe number are recorded. Analyses of chosen field-names was then undertaken by the survey group to demonstrate their potential value. Papers resulting from this include: `The relevance of field-names to bell archaeology' by John C Eisel (437--41) including an appended note listing corresponding parishes, field numbers and field-names (440--1); `Field-name survey in relation to lime-kilns in the Golden Valley' by Beryl Harding (442--5) includes a similar list giving parish, grid reference, field number, field-name and site evidence; `Two field-names in the Royal Manor of Marden' by Jean O'Donnell (446--8); `Alternative agriculture' being any diversion from the standard production of cereals and meat and evinced in extant field-names, by F W Pexton (449--52); `Field-names with possible Roman connections' by Ruth E Richardson (453--69); `Field-names as a guide to the sites of deserted medieval settlements' by Rosamund E Skelton (470--2) includes a list detailing parish, grid reference, field number, field-name, and explanatory, though brief, comments for town field-name analysis and a shorter list giving parish, grid reference, field number, name of field with earthworks and settlement name for deserted medieval settlement sites with earthworks; `Field-names as archaeological indicators of defensive sites' by Graham Sprackling & Ivor Lesser (473--9) also lists parish, grid reference, field number, field-name, possible castle sites not listed on the SMR (headed HWCM - Hereford & Worcester County Sites & Monuments Record primary record numbers) and brief details of site evidence; and finally `An investigation of the Byefield, Bylet, Cinder, Forge & Furnace, Cae, Tref and Cover names for the county of Herefordshire' by the late Elizabeth Taylor (480--9) includes separate lists providing parish, grid reference, field number and field name with a river section for Byefield, river/brook for Bylet, site evidence for cinder, forge and furnace names, and acreage and notes sections for cae, tref and cover names. The closing paragraph on Castle Tump Field refers to the publication of the report and pottery report of this site (see 94/652).
The Roman small town at Leintwardine: excavations and other fieldwork 1971--1989
Duncan L Brown
510 - 572
Two excavations are reported here, the first undertaken in 1971 at Sawpit Bank, conducted by J G P Erskine, the second in 1980 at 22 High Street by J Sawle. In addition archaeological evaluations and salvage recording between 1978 and 1989 are summarised. The results have contributed to the continuing debate on the civilian or military associations of Roman Leintwardine. Here it is suggested that Leintwardine was a defended Roman small town, with ramparts constructed in the AD 190s. This hypothesis would have considerable consequences for the military history of the Welsh Marches, as there would be no significant military presence in the Leintwardine vicinity after the withdrawal from Buckton fort in the AD 130s. There are specialist reports from Sawpit Bank on: `Samian ware' by B R Hartley & H Pengelly (524--6) followed by details of the course pottery including `Mortaria' by K F Hartley (530); metalwork, glass and organic remains. Finds from 22 High Street include: coins; `The samian ware' by Brenda Dickinson (541--3); `The [Roman & medieval] coarse pottery' by Helen Rees (543--5) including `Mortaria' by K F Hartley (543--4); `Roman brooches' by D F Mackreth (545--7); a note on ironwork; `The [vessel, window & bead] glass' by J Henderson (549--50); and organic remains. Observations at smaller sites in the vicinity are recorded including a radiocarbon date for charcoal samples from beneath the rampart south of Mill Lane. It is thought that Roman Leintwardine started out as a civilian settlement related to the fort at Jay Lane and was fortified after AD 170 - possibly in the AD 190s. `Appendix 1: Index to archives for Sawpit Bank and 22 High Street' (571--2) concludes.
A 1577 plan `A platte of part of the Chase of Bringewood and of certayne groundes adjoining leased to Mr Walter of Ludlowe'. A re-evaluation of the landscape
Patricia Cross
573 - 581
An article by Henry T Weyman (in Trans Shropshire Archaeol Soc, 3(2), 1913, 263--82) gives a comprehensive account of the historical background to the map but is thought here to have prompted mistaken assumptions with regard to its orientation. Comparison with a map of 1662 is thought to provide more precise identification of the landscape features. It is concluded that an orientation of the plan where E lies at the top is the most likely.
