Background
History
There are few traces of early antiquity in Beeston Regis, with some evidence of Roman habitation on Beeston Regis Heath. In 1859 a complete set of quern-stones were found dating from Roman times. On Beeston Regis Heath there are circular pits called 'Hills and Holes' (from the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map of the area). They are thought to date from prehistoric times. During the Saxon-Norman to Medieval periods these pits were dug to obtain iron ore, which was then smelted in a furnace to produce iron.
