Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a woodland survey which formed 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 (South) 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 hollow ways with associated collection/storage platforms. Evidence of industrial activities were recorded in the form of mineral extraction pits and limekilns. Of particular interest is a sub-angular enclosure located on the south-facing slope enclosing the end of a spur. Within the interior of the enclosure a number of platforms were recorded. Access to the enclosure is likely to have been from the north at a location where the spur narrows to form a natural corridor. |
