This is from another Contributer which gives the Enumerator's Notes from the 1851 census

Westbury on Severn,
Newnham
District 4A

All that part of the Township of East Dean which comprises

Popes Hill
Hangman's Hill
Chestnuts Lodge
Greenway
Shapride Hill
Watery Lane End

----

Then I googled: Hangman's Hill Drybrook

and from the website

British History on Line

Forest of Dean - Settlement

about 18 pages but

"East of the Mitcheldean-Littledean road there were 15 cottages on the lower slopes of Chestnut Hill in 1782 some were on the south-western side at Waterend Lane (fn.358) on the Littledean boundary where six cottages stood on Crown Land in 1834." etc
