Abstract: |
'Unearthing our Heritage' is one of a large group of projects, the development phase of which have been being undertaken as part of the development stage of the Foresters' Forest, a Heritage Lottery Funded (HLF) Landscape Partnership Programme for the Forest of Dean. These projects are being developed to create a Stage 2 application to the HLF which is being co-ordinated and managed by the Forestry Commission and it is intended that a Stage Two application will be submitted in November 2016. The Forestry Commission is the lead partner within the Foresters' Forest but the total partnership numbers about 50 projects led by different organisations. 'Unearthing our Heritage' has been led by a team of archaeologists from Worcestershire County Council's Archive and Archaeology Service working with a team of volunteers recruited from the local community. It has encompassed three main components, namely Lidar Validation Survey, Built Heritage and Further Investigation (Yorkley and Tomlin Field School). The completion of these tasks aims to expand our knowledge of what archaeological and other historic features exist within the Forest so that we can build up a greater level of understanding about the heritage of this landscape. Through identifying and mapping what sites, features and structures are present, and recording the conditions these will, in turn, provide basic tools for monitoring site condition and supporting effective long-term management of these heritage assets. All three elements have not only provided training and high levels of involvement for our volunteers but have also included an outreach programme to engage, enthuse and inform the wider community about their heritage. |
