Can any one tell me more about Five Acres in Coleford? I have read lots of references about this place, but I'm still not sure what was significant about this place. Can anyone point me in the right direction for further information?

A farmhouse and barn standing next to the Forest at Five Acres were possibly built in the 17th century. In the mid 18th century there was also a cottage there (fn. 61) and in the 19th and 20th centuries several houses were built nearby, on the south side of the Monmouth road. Merryweathers (formerly Little Five Acres) Farm is on the site of a building recorded in 1608.

For a number of discussions Berry Hill and Five Acres are interchangeable.
