Abstract: |
As part of the Herefordshire Woodlands Archaeological Surveys, a survey was undertaken Dudale Hope Wood by Herefordshire Archaeology, undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid site identification survey was carried out in the wood concerned, using a hand held Global Positioning System to record the location of the 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 and post medieval periods. These included saw pits, areas of quarrying and woodland management boundaries. A number of earthworks were recorded which may pre-date the woodland. These included a large platform surrounded by banks on three sides, a number of smaller platforms and a pair of wide, parallel banks that have been tentatively identified as pillow mounds. Much of the wood is currently in use as a Paint-balling course. |
