  • The Stratford Lane Roman Road and Other Early Routes on Mendip
    Proc, Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1992 19 (2), 151-182 THE STRATFORD LANE ROMAN ROAD AND OTHER EARLY ROUTES ON MENDIP by R.G..I.WILLIAMS ABSTRACT The existence of the Stratford Lane Road was first suggested in 1906- Opinions have differed firstly as lo us course from Ihe Mendip hilltop into Ihe Chew Valley and secondly as to Us function. This road and some medieval mutes in the ure;i wliidi might have Roman or earlier origins are examined in detail in this paper which also queries Ihe theory that the River Chew was used to transport Roman lead. Fieldwork was aided by the study of documents dating from ihe .sixteenth century held locally and in Ihe United Stales »f America. Fresh information on some archaeological sites on Mendip is given, including newly identified round-barrows, old boundary stones, a pillow mound and Ihe boundary of a medieval warren. INTRODUCTION In all ages since the neolithic farming communities became settled there has been a need for both local communication between habitation sites and access to resources. The elaborately constructed wooden trackways, dated to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, found in the peat moors south of the Mendip Hills, suggest a planned communication system with connections to other areas. Iron Age settlement on Ihe central Mendip plateau in caves, enclosures and hill-forts is confined to the edges of the escarpment but there is a dispersed pattern of farmsteads in the surrounding valleys, There is evidence of bronze and iron working at these .sites but there was only a limited use of lead in the Iron Age.

  • Coalbed Methane Exploration in Somerset. the Chew
    ABSTRACT This report draws on public information on coalbed methane (CBM) exploration in Somerset to highlight the extensive nature of the resource and identify which communities might be impacted by its development. Ninety percent of the current Petroleum Exploration and Development License area was evaluated and reported on by a previous licence holder in 2000. The content of that evaluation is not widely known but is still valid and may have been a motivating factor in the current holder procuring the licences. GeoMet UK’s licence relinquishment report is available as a PDF file from the UK Onshore Geophysical Library but without its maps and overlays. This report reproduces those maps from GeoMet’s original data and compares them with local administrative units and designations. Frack Free Chew Valley COALBED METHANE 30 June 2014 EXPLORATION IN SOMERSET. THE CHEW VALLEY, KEYNSHAM & THE MENDIP HILLS 0 GeoMet Relinquishment Report to DECC, PEDL 074, Somerset The intention of this report is to draw attention to the possibility of exploration and development of coalbed methane in Somerset using publically available information. The work has been undertaken by Frack Free Chew Valley and is unfunded. Frack Free Chew Valley is a local community group which aims to raise awareness about unconventional gas exploration and development in the Chew Valley area and is a member of the Frack Free Somerset coalition but is not aligned with any political party or environmental group.
