Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey in Woodhampton Wood for the Forestry Commission. A rapid walk over survey was carried out in the wood concerned. A hand held Global Positioning System was used to record the location of features encountered. The earliest feature identified was a possible medieval dyke located on the south side of the wood. This was aligned roughly north-south and extended downslope away from the wood. This is thought to represent the earliest feature on site as the existing wood edge boundary overlies it. No wood bank was identified at any point around the wood; the southern boundary being marked by a medieval lynchet and the north side a post medieval field boundary. This differentiation between boundaries was noted either side of the parish boundary, which is aligned roughly east-west through the centre of the wood. To the north is Wigmore County Parish and in the south is Amnestry County Parish. This suggests that the wood has extended northwards over time, starting on the southern side of the parish boundary in the late medieval/early post medieval period, and extending northwards in the late post medieval/early modern period. Woodland management features are minimal, the majority being located on the north side of the wood. This suggests that firstly wood extraction was the primary activity and processing secondary, and secondly that there was possibly a different emphasis by different owners to woodland management on either side of the parish boundary.
