Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a woodland survey, which formed part of a pilot study in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid walk over survey was carried out in Nether Wood, Aconbury. A hand held G.P.S unit was used to record the location of features encountered. Structures were recorded within the wood that illustrate the intensive use of the woodland resource in the late and post medieval periods, i.e. saw pits, charcoal burning platforms and woodland management boundaries. Of particular interest were the well preserved remains of a mill with dams and races. Much of the wood has very dense undergrowth particularly in the central and eastern areas making the recognition of many features impossible, however traces of its potential were recorded on its periphery. |
