A Preliminary Study Herefordshire Archaeology Report No 44, November 2001. Summary: During October and November 2001, Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a preliminary study of the impact of the potato cultivation on archaeological sites within the county. The purpose of the study was to inform a national study on the management of archaeological sites within arable landscapes currently being undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit on behalf of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The extent of potato farming within the county is revealed and the future impacts of potato cultivation in Herefordshire are also considered. Three sites were investigated at Sutton St. Michael, Cradley and Westhide form the basis of this report. The sites at Sutton and Cradley are defined as cropmark enclosures while Westhide is a small Romano- British settlement. All of the sites revealed damage from agricultural processes, with evidence of accelerated erosion of the buried archaeological deposits due to potato growing at Sutton and Cradley. The sites confirmed that various factors, such as slope, topographic location and crop regime would influence the occurrence of damage from arable farming on archaeological remains. The study concludes with an assessment of the impact of potato cultivation on archaeological sites with recommendations highlighting a series of various options that may be undertaken to manage archaeological sites in arable landscapes in the future.

Introduction This report provides an account and analysis of work carried out by Herefordshire Archaeology in 2001. It aim has been to contribute to a wider project undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit, on behalf of DEFRA (Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) on the management of archaeological sites in the arable landscape. The primary concern of the national study is to consider specific cultivation processes that occur in the arable landscape to assess the impact on archaeological sites. The main purpose of the project reported here was to provide a preliminary assessment of the kinds of impact of arable cultivation upon the buried archaeological resource within Herefordshire. Special reference was made to potato cultivation that has become a major agent of change in the farmed landscape of the county. The Herefordshire study involved re- examining previous Herefordshire Archaeology excavations and undertaking new fieldwork so that site damage linked to agricultural processes could be assessed. The report is divided into eight main sections. · Section 1, this introduction. · Section 2, providing a brief overview and assessment of the current impact of arable farming upon the archaeological resource. · Section 3, reviewing potato cultivation in Herefordshire set against a national and regional context. · Section 4, specifying the implications of increased potato cultivation and changes to cultivation methods. · Section 5: A statement of the study procedures. · Section 6 detailing the fieldwork and investigations findings. · Section 7, analysing these findings. · The study is concluded with an assessment of the impact of potato growing on the archaeological resource and recommendations for the future management of archaeological sites in the arable landscape (Section 8). The report provides, for the first time, some documentation for the process of gradual attrition to archaeological sites in the farmed landscape of Herefordshire. It gives an indicator of the now dramatic and rapid impact that can occur following the advent in the county of industrial- scale potato production. 1 2. Impact of arable farming upon archaeological sites The effects of arable farming upon archaeological features within the landscape have been studied in the past (Darvill, 1987; Darvill and Fulton, 1998; MAFF/OAU, 2000). These studies have demonstrated that continual and intensive ploughing can result in the gradual destruction of sites. However, the nature and extent of damage caused by arable farming varies according to a wide variety of circumstances that may affect individual archaeological sites. Variables such as the topography of a site (whether for instance it is situated at the top, middle or base of a slope) needs to be considered as this may affect the degree to which ploughing may erode archaeological features. Cultural variables also need to be considered such as the type of archaeological site that may be present and how different archaeological features (e.g. walls, ditches or graves) may withstand damage from ploughing. Another factor is the crop to be grown and the form of the machinery necessary to undertake the cultivation, as this will influence the depth to which the soil is disturbed. Potato growing generally requires deep ploughing and a series of cultivation techniques that are beyond the scope of conventional ploughing. Depending upon the soil structure, sub soiling may be required to reduce compacted subsoil and to improve drainage of the soil. This involves breaking up the soil and loosening any compacted subsoil or soil pans and can reach to a depth of 0.3- 0.9m. Potatoes require good seedbeds and de- stoning of the soil may occur so that during the harvest stones do not damage either the crop or machinery. The seedbeds are constructed by a bed- former, which is drawn through the soil to construct the ridges.

  • The Wye Catchment Partnership Plan
    The Wye Catchment Partnership Plan Hosted By: Supported By: Version: 2019-20 1 1. Introduction: The Wye Catchment The Wye catchment covers 4,285km2 spanning two countries and five counties. The River Wye stretches for over 200 kilometres from its source at Plynlimon in mid-Wales to the Severn estuary making it the fifth longest river in the UK. For most of its length the river runs through the Welsh Marches and has many significant tributaries including the Elan, Irfon, Ithon, Lugg and Monnow. The Wye is an internationally important habitat, reflected in its designation as a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The catchment is rich in wildlife and precious habitat which is recognised by its designated areas including the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Nature Reserves, Local Nature Reserves and terrestrial SSSI’s. The Wye flows through several sizeable towns including Builth Wells, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, Monmouth and Chepstow with Kington, Leominster, Llandrindod Wells and Bromyard as the main towns within the tributary network. The main land-use is agriculture with livestock farming predominating in the north and west and intensive arable farming in the south and east of the catchment. There is some industry based around the major towns. The area offers many opportunities for water based recreation and the Wye and Lugg are unusual in that there is a public right of navigation in England. The River Wye is a well-established and nationally significant salmon, brown trout and coarse fish fishery. Elver fishing also takes place within the tidal reaches of the Wye.

South Herefordshire and Over Severn Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
