Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey which formed part of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty survey. A rapid walk over survey was carried out in the woodland concerned. A hand held G.P.S unit was used to record the location of features encountered. The survey identified features associated with most industries commonly associated with woodland. Evidence of quarrying, charcoal burning, saw pits and woodland management boundaries were recorded. In addition to these features large areas of ridge and furrow was recorded particularly on the western side of the main ridge of Halesend Wood. Associated with this were numbers of field lynchets, headlands and field banks. This suggests that much of this area was under intensive arable cultivation during the medieval period. |
