Also Proc of the Soc. of antiquaries of Scotland vol VI Part II 1867 p. 278 James Farrer "Notice of recent excavation in Chedworth wood in the county of Gloucester".
"The ground has been covered with wood from time immemorial, & the underwood is felled
every 20 years. No suspicion of buildings seems to have been entertained, though in some
places the top stones of walls appeared, on close examination, above the surface of the ground."
- Discovered due to a gamekeeper ferreting for rabbits 2 1/4 acres already explored, but more recent discoveries in other parts of the wood.
