Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey forming part of a pilot study for the Forestry Commission. A rapid walk over survey was carried out in the wood concerned. A hand held Global Positioning System was used to record the location of features encountered. Probably the most interesting find was evidence of a possible monastic building that appears to date to the 14th/15th century. Worked masonry dating to this period was found around and within a later post medieval limekiln structure. The woodland boundary has changed over time but only in discrete areas, and the various types of wood-edge identified during the survey tend to indicate a post-medieval date for the woods inception. The wood was heavily utilised during the post medieval period. The most significant remains are those associated with lime production. These included not just a kiln, but also associated quarries for the raw material, numerous charcoal burning platforms to provide heat and even clay extraction pits that suggest the kiln may have been lined.
