It occupies a low plateau with steeply sloping edges where deposits of stony Pleistocene drift, the remnants of ancient pre-glacial river terrace of the "Proto-Wey", overlie the heavy, wet Gault. </p><p>Alice Holt Forest was noted for the oak woodlands that grew on its thick Gault clay. In the 18th century the celebrated naturalist, <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_White" title="Gilbert White">Gilbert White</a>, who lived nearby at Selborne, contrasted Alice Holt with the adjacent <a href="/wiki/Woolmer_Forest" title="Woolmer Forest">Woolmer Forest</a>. He noted 'Though these two forests are only parted by a narrow range of enclosures, yet no two soils can be more different; for the Holt consists of a strong loam, of a miry nature, carrying a good turf, and abounding with oaks that grow to be large timber; while Woolmer is nothing but a hungry, sandy, barren waste', consisting 'entirely of sand covered with heath and fern...without having one standing tree in the whole extent'.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The forest is now mainly planted with conifers. According to Forestry England, Alice Holt Forest Park today covers 851 hectares (2,100 acres) of mainly Corsican pine but approximately 140 hectares (350 acres) of oak, planted in 1815, still remain. Some broad-leaved species have also been reintroduced as part of a regeneration programme.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Archaeology_and_history">Archaeology and history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alice_Holt_Forest&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Archaeology and history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG/220px-Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG/330px-Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG/440px-Roman_cinerary_urn_Alice_Holt_ware_A.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1730" data-file-height="1535" /></a><figcaption>Roman cinerary urn of Alice Holt ware, 2nd century AD, excavated from near Farnham station in 1902.</figcaption></figure> <p>A few finds of Paleolithic tools indicate the use of the area by <a href="/wiki/Old_Stone_Age" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Stone Age">Old Stone Age</a> hunters during previous inter-glacial periods, but the Forest as we know it originated in the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_(period)" title="Atlantic (period)">Atlantic period</a>: the warm, wet phase which followed the retreat of the last Ice Age in Britain, some 7000 years ago. Occasional Mesolithic flints show early hunter-gatherers utilised the Forest, and although there are a few <a href="/wiki/Iron_Age" title="Iron Age">Iron Age</a> tumuli (burial mounds), the area seems to have been sparsely populated prior to the Roman period, on account of its unsuitability for farming. </p><p>Extensive kiln sites and associated claypits exist, which date from the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Britain" title="Roman Britain">Roman occupation of Britain</a>. The local antiquary Major A.G. Wade undertook limited investigations in the 1930s and 40s. Major research was undertaken in the 1970s by the Alice Holt Survey Group, under the co-direction of Malcolm Lyne and Rosemary Jefferies. These indicated that the Forest and surrounding areas were one of the most important centres for the industrial-scale production of domestic ceramics in Roman Britannia, supplying up to 60% of all pottery found in excavations at Staines and London and being transported across south-east England throughout the period from AD60 to the early 5th century, when industrial pottery production ceased. Alice Holt gives its name to a particular diagnostic pottery style from the Romano-British period, <i>Alice Holt Pottery</i>, a coarse grey sandy ware .<sup id="cite_ref-newarch_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newarch-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The area was subject to <a href="/wiki/Royal_forest#Forest_law" title="Royal forest">Forest Law</a> (together with nearby <a href="/wiki/Woolmer_Forest" title="Woolmer Forest">Woolmer Forest</a>) from the time of <a href="/wiki/William_the_Conqueror" title="William the Conqueror">William the Conqueror</a> and remained a Royal Forest thereafter.<sup id="cite_ref-ecn_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ecn-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The forests of Alice Holt and Woolmer, only separated by a narrow belt of cultivated and meadow land, were usually considered as one forest from at least medieval times, having been under the same administration from time immemorial and being managed by a single lord warden,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and indeed were once known as the Royal Forest of Alice Holt and Woolmer. </p><p>Throughout the Middle Ages there are incidental documentary references to the deer (both red and fallow) and timber in the joint forest, but the first detailed survey was made in 1635, and this showed their total area to be 15,493 acres (6,270 ha); this was said to have been much the same as in the year 1300, though in earlier times the forest may have been considerably larger. Little had changed when a further survey was made in 1790, although by then 6,799 acres (2,751 ha) were privately owned. </p><p>From the 1770s onwards the Alice Holt and Woolmer forests were required to devote themselves primarily to producing oak for the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a>, though they had been neglected and their trees were past their prime.
