Full Description
{1} The page-keeper's lodge and yard lay south of Rose Coppice in the south-east of the forest. It is the only surviving ancient lodge without modern buildings. Unfortunately gravel pits made the 18th and 19th century have caused much mutilation. Some of the mounds visible at the location may be buildings marked on the 1825 map {2} rather than quarries. The lodge is important because it is likely to have below ground remains of the earliest stage that will help date the origin of the Salcey Coppice system, assuming that the whole system of coppices and lodges was created at the same time.
