Abstract: |
Forming part of the Herefordshire Woodlands Archaeological Survey undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid site identification survey was carried out in Haugh Wood (North) using a hand held Global Positioning System to record the location of archaeological features encountered. Earthwork features were recorded within the wood that illustrate a history of intensive woodland management since the post medieval period, including wood boundaries, charcoal burning platforms, and networks of deeply cut holloways with associated collection/storage platforms. Evidence of industrial activities were recorded in the form of mineral extraction pits. Of particular interest is the survival of a linear bank that may be a relic of the clearance of woodland alongside the Woolhope to Mordiford road to prevent banditry during the 13th century. |
