| Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology undertook a survey, which formed part of a pilot study in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid walk over survey was carried out in the woodland concerned. 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, quarries and woodland management boundaries. Compelling evidence was recorded, showing that much of the wood was under arable field in the medieval period. This took the form of areas covered by strip lynchets, headlands and ridge and furrow. Squatter settlement relating to the now deserted Hyde Common was also recorded. |
