Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey which formed part of a pilot study for The Community Commons Project operated by Herefordshire Nature Trust. A rapid walk over survey was carried out on the Common concerned. A hand held Global Positioning by Satellite System was used to record the location of features encountered. Features were recorded within the Common that would illustrate the intensive use of the land resource in the late and post medieval periods. Some of the features identified consist of quarries, limekilns, settlement platforms and track networks. During the survey an industrial site/settlement was recorded within the west of the common. Features identified with the site consisted of a limekiln with a supporting network of trackways/hollow ways as well as a series of platforms that would have supported structures or acted as collection points. |
