Classified as 'ancient woodland' from its diversity of species and documented in existence from the C16th. As in the rest of the Tyne area, the woodland was subdivided into blocks, one of the local names for which are 'hags', for the production of coppiced timber for the region’s industries. http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/prudhoe-historic-characterisation/prudhoehistoriccharacterisation.pdf
