Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a woodland survey which formed part of a pilot study of the archaeology of Herefordshire woodlands undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid site identification survey was carried out in the wood concerned, using a hand held Global Positioning System to record the location of the features that were recognised as having archaeological significance. Earthwork features were recorded within the wood that illustrate the intensive use of the woodland resource in the late and post medieval periods. These included saw pits, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries. A new class of earthwork was identified within the wood. This kind of feature appears to be a charcoal burning platform, but this type and its method of construction had not previously been recorded in Herefordshire. |
