Abstract: |
The investigations within Brampton Bryan Park formed part of a larger project entitled: The Herefordshire Nature Trust Parklands Project. This project involved the recording of ecological and archaeological / historical features within parklands across the county. Ecological and archaeological assets were recorded by volunteers under professional supervision in order to enhance and update the data held within the Biological Record Centre and The Historic Environment Record. The investigations within Brampton Bryan Park comprised the detailed survey and partial excavation of a series of earthworks within Laugh Lady Valley thought to be part of a charcoal burning settlement. The detailed survey recorded the location and scale of a series of earthworks within Laugh Lady Valley. These had been previously identified during a walk over survey of the Deer Park in 2003. The location and form of the earthworks suggested that they related to timber extraction and charcoal burning. A levelled platform was tentatively recorded as a hut / building platform and a low mound a midden. The excavations confirmed the existence of a charcoal burning platform. However trenches across the platform and midden showed that these were in fact the earthwork remains of a brick kiln and associated wasters. The excavation of a presumed saw-pit revealed a feature most likely linked to brick production during the 18th century. |
