Abstract: |
Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) has been identified as the primary threat to the integrity of many scheduled monuments in the north and south-west of England. Bracken also has a major impact on the visibility of archaeology in these regions, affecting public enjoyment and academic study of archaeological sites. This report presents the findings of a four-year project funded by Historic England to study the efficacy of a number of bracken control techniques and their impact on the historic environment. The study comprised field-based trials at three sites in England using a number of mechanical and chemical control methods and observed their effects on the bracken, understorey vegetation and proxy archaeological remains. |
