Hammonds Coppice, near Newdigate

Landscape assessment by N Bannister for the Woodlands Trust. The shape of the wood was found to have remained unaltered for over 200 years, with the perimeter bounded by substantial banks. A sawpit, holloway and a former embanked pond were identified within the wood, as well as numerous wood banks. A rounded bank and accompanying ditch, which appear to bear no relationship to the woodland and wood banks, may represent the remains of a territorial boundary, possibly part of the medieval park of Ewood.
