Scowles in Dingle Wood is a complex of ancient iron ore workings located in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. The site comprises numerous shallow excavations and spoil heaps characteristic of prehistoric and Romano-British iron extraction, though the precise chronology remains difficult to establish definitively. The workings represent evidence of small-scale, episodic exploitation of iron ore resources that would have supplied local demand across multiple periods. The landscape of shallow quarrying and disturbed ground reflects the labour-intensive methods employed before the development of deeper shaft mining technologies.
