Abstract: |
A survey of Ast Wood was undertaken as part of a study conducted in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid site identification survey was carried out using a hand-held GPS to record the location of 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 Medieval and Post-Medieval periods. These included saw pits, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries. Medieval Ridge and Furrow was recorded covering a large area within the wood, indicating that at least part of the wood was under the plough probably up until the middle or end of the 14th Century. |
