Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey which formed 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. The wood was split topographically between the western slopes and the eastern valley bottom. This delineation was also evident in the archaeological remains identified during the survey. The western slopes contained evidence of medieval farming in the form of lynchets, holloway's and ridge and furrow. That few post medieval features were identified may suggest that this extreme westerly portion of the survey area was wooded in the late medieval/early post medieval period In the valley bottom, to the east, any medieval activity that may have been present, appears to have been replaced by a post medieval field system. This later field system has itself been modified by the addition of short sections of woodbank where the pre-existing field boundary (current wood edge) has been straightened. This modification tells us that the woodland within this area has been planned, and the name of the wood, indicates the creation of a 17th century Landscape Park. No evidence for this was identified during this limited survey, and it is possible, that as today, the site was created as a plantation, possibly in the late 18th century to provide timber for the Napoleonic wars.
