Scowles in the north of Blake's Wood is an ancient monument comprising surface earthworks and archaeological remains located in Gloucestershire. The site consists of shallow depressions and worked ground characteristic of medieval iron ore extraction and processing, reflecting the exploitation of haematite deposits in the Forest of Dean during the medieval period. The irregular surface features represent the legacy of open-cast mining activity, with evidence of ore working and associated industrial activity preserved in the landscape. This site contributes to the archaeological understanding of medieval extractive industries and resource management in the Forest of Dean region.
